Old computers, such as Apple II, C64 and so on are well known to everyone. But last fall, I visited a small amateur fest of old computers (and computer art), where Soviet computers were shown. I took some pictures and hope you see something unusual.
At the entrance I saw the computer Commodore VIC-20, produced in 1980. It was connected to the monitor with an insane brightness - I can not imagine how it was possible to work with it:
Note the funny cassette player, which is the data/program storage. In order to show the image on the screen, I had to take the camera and reduce the exposure manually:
Brutal Soviet mouse:
... and joystick:
The POSITRON computer is for schools. The label on the front reads: "The work rate per student for 30 minutes a day."
Electronika МС0585 from Voronezh, produced in 1985:
And this is the legendary Poisk (translated as "Search") from Kiev (the capital of Ukraine today):
The upgrade is made by modules that are simply inserted as cartridges for consoles. This is RAM 256 kb module:
The first Soviet game console for TV (Pong clone):
"Yamaha КУВТ2" – a special series of MSX computers produced by Yamaha for Soviet Union:

Thank you! Hope it was interesting for you and good luck on Steem!

Your user name gives me a lot of joy :-)
... btw, nice collection. I remember PONG, my friend had one, brough by his father from West Germany ;-)
Then we had a huge war between Atari 65XE and Commodore C64 owners. And of course Sinclair/ZX Spectrum. And games loaded from the casette tapes (nobody moves or it fails to load!)
Joysticks broken during River Raid...
I'm old :D
Cool! Is any demoscene in Poland now?
It took me a while to understand what you are asking about ;-) Last time I heard about "demoscene" ~25 years ago ;-)
But I googled this just now, because you made me wonder.
And to my surprise I found an event that is going to happen this year ;-)
