Sega Master System (poster)

The Sega Master System was a competitor to the Nintendo Entertainment System and a predecessor to the Sega Genesis. Although technically superior, it never did as well as Nintendo in most of the world (Brazil excepted). I was surprised to learn that in sold less than the Atari 7800 in North America. This was for a number of reasons including but not limited to: a slightly later entry into market, poorer marketing, and Nintendo's draconian and anti-competitive licensing scheme.

Above is a poster from 1987 that was included in many of the games. It features classic Sega artwork depicting characters and other various Sega gaming scenes.

Portacomp III 386-25

This is a fairly early portable computer that apparently predates laptops. It reminds me of two machines I used to own. One was an XT class portable Compaq. It was older than this one and had a small CRT display instead of the gas plasma like this one. The other was a 386 laptop of similar specs that did have a gas plasma display. Gas plasma was a monochrome flat panel technology that predated LCD. That's the coolest thing about it in my opinion. They weren't great displays for motion as anytime anything moved you couldn't see anything but blur but it had this cool orange glow that just screams retro-futurism. The picture doesn't do it justice.
