Thanks to a post by @FrancescoSblendorio we rediscover the IMSAI 8080, a 1975 computer, considered a clone of the Altair 8800, which made a fine show of itself in the 1983 film "Wargames". We should also have programmed the MOS KIM-1 at the suggestion of @maurovarischetti8711 but the feat deserves a separate video. #retrocomputing #altair8800 #imsai8080 #wargames #moskim1
