Neat! Always loved the computer screens of Lego. I got a few in my Boba Fett ships.
It looks like they’re playing Tempest on that one on the bottom row, second from the left.
It absolutely is!
Just stopped to say how happy this little collection makes me.
The one in the centre isn’t a computer. Or if it is, it’s on fire.
There are even more here…
Yes! And the yellow one in the top right brings back a memory or two
Whatever it is, if it has a “RUN” button it must be fun.
I’d call most of these instrument panels, rather than computer interfaces. I see several CRT radar position-plan indicators and aircraft attitude indicators. The one at lower right looks like a fish finder!
Oh, man! The monitors are the few pieces I saved when I handed off my collections.
My favorite was the huge monitor from #6970, definitely pulled that one aside.
Also… holy heck, I had no idea even the window panes were going for $15. Hopefully the dozens of pounds of miscellaneous childhood pieces brought joy to the teacher’s classroom for years to come.
I’m pretty sure it’s not just “Star Wars inspired”, it’s from a Star Wars set.
I loved these. I would build big mission controls or War Games-style missile launch complexes with as many computers as possible.
They also has a number of 1x2 slope computer interfaces - rotary dials and CB microphones and what not.
Sweet! I’ve got that piece still.
Vector graphics forever!
