My dad had one when I was a kid. He gave it too me in 1986.
I hated it. I hated the way the data cable would come loose exactly when
you were finally running the stupid script you spent all day writing!
It was a color computer that plugged into your TV, made by a radio shack
affiliate.
It had either cartridges with preprogrammed games (like pong or race track)
or a cable to a cassette recorder (any kind) on which it stored it's data.
The computer itself looks like a fat keyboard, brown and rounded.
There are about 50 to 100 of them for sale at a salvage shop near my house,
priced from $5-10CAD and over priced at that.
Realistically, you could not sell these for more than any scrap value they
have.
I don't know the nature of the Operating System, it seemed that you had to
create it as you went or use a cartridge, but I didn't know much at the
time. I found it much more frustrating than useful
