My first machine was an Atari 800XL, and it was woefully out of date then. It being my first was more a matter of my family's financial situation at the time than my being OG.
I did co-design this bad boy though:
whats that box supposed to be ?
so many dilemmas. hard to honor every principle
simplicity vs. realism
correctness vs. practicality
utility vs. correctness
generality vs. specialization
O prudente varão há de ser mudo,
Que é melhor neste mundo, mar de enganos,
Ser louco c’os demais, que só, sisudo

It's only ever been shown off on the festival circuit, but it did see hands on action with kids. Basically, it's an 8-bit fantasy console where you interact through direct memory manipulation. To play tic tac toe against the computer--for example--you literally write x's and o's (in EBCDIC of course) to an array and then either scan through the array to see how the CPU reacted or check out a magic location where the cpu puts the number of the square it last filled in. It was meant to be a kit to get kids soldering and learning about low level computing but never made it past a few prototypes. There's alot of its DNA in Ghost of the Witch though. At some point hobby computing platform prices are gonna be so low I may have to revisit it.

I want to share this demo I found called "scrolll". It runs in a web browser. It's an animation made out of 32 actual scrollbars. https://files.blinry.org/scrolll/
This certainly isn't the first time someone has squeezed a demo into unexpected places.

Thank you for sharing. This gave me the same feeling as when I first saw "Bad Apple".
Maybe this thread should be pinned?
