"David's Computer: from WarGames up for sale soon.


Recommended Posts

WarGames IMSAI

 

No, it's not jewel-encrusted or dressed in precious metals, and it doesn't even run a modern operating system. It is a singularly unique, one-of-a kind creation developed in the mid-1970's that significantly helped generate a new and encompassing technology that permeates our world's present environment in almost any way you can imagine.

 

The "WarGames IMSAI" with its associated props and provenance will soon be offered for sale. Agonizing as it is to part with such an iconic and inspirational part of computer and film history, it is a decision which is better left to me to deal with, as we are only temporary caretakers of our possessions.

 

It is currently appraised at over $25,000, potentially making it the most expensive "personal computer" ever! It is widely considered one of the top five "Movie Computers" of all time, and the only one which was a real commercial product!
