I have an old printer similar to what's shown at 10:19. It uses a ribbon ink cartridge (similar to a typewriter) and requires fanfold paper fed in through the bottom as seen in the pic.
My first experience with computers was in the late 70's when my older brother came home from college with a homemade motherboard, keyboard, 12" black and white TV and a 7" reel to reel tape player as a hard drive. It took me about 3 hours to type in code and save it to tape simply to play a game of Pong. Something you didn't mention, I have a copy of Bill Gates' wife's program, Microsoft Bob for kids.
i was born in 1980 so i was too young to even know about the various few computers that were around back in the day. Even when i was 1 years old in 1981 and so on in early 1980s, i was just too young to even know about stuff like fancy IBM computer stuff. My dad though he was into that stuff back then
About the Oregon trail, my nephew got busted in school in the 80's when he hacked into the schools Oregon trail program in computer training class so that he couldn't lose. His punishment included being sent to the Annapolis Naval Academy for advanced training classes until he graduated from school, then after graduation at 18 he was hired by the NSA.
I don't know what the system you showed was, but that was NOT a colecovision. You also mentioned the Intellivision (with Atari) but showed a pic of 2 Atari 2600s. No big deal, love the videos.

I still have a working Atari 2600 and many of the cool games of the day.

Thanks for this.😊

I wonder where they get their ideas, would hate to clean up those messes
I will be 86 when Haley's Comet returns. I doubt I will still be alive in July 2061.

Who made this video? Half the products they show are just plain wrong. The entire Game & Watch section is particularly bad.
