I found this on the server at work. Thought it was pretty funny, but what is the system they are playing? I was born in 81, so this maybe just a tad to early for me. I like the wood paneling though, it's like a ski cabin, lol.
What is this picture?
Maybe its not a "console" by todays standards at all...I give you...
IBM PC (model 5150)
Manufacturer: IBM
Discontinued: 1987
Even though the IBM PC appeared in 1975, the price was deemed way too high to compete with cheaper alternatives. The newest model was the first computer to be legally reverse engineered by other manufacturers to create PC or IBM clones - hence that old term “IBM compatible.” Yeah, rivals were able steal the BIOS through backdoor shenanigans.
