Commodore 64 Mugs
Description: Silicon Graphics, Inc. (stylized as SiliconGraphics, and later rebranded as SGI) was an American high-performance computing manufacturer founded in Mountain View, California in 1981. SGI was dedicated to manufacturing high-performance workstations, software design, and supercomputers for professionals specializing in 3D graphics. At its peak in the '90s, Silicon Graphics had legendary status among 3D artists and graphic designers who leveraged the unique power of these workstations as they were at the bleeding edge of visual computing. The '90s also saw Silicon Graphics workstations become the go-to workstations in Hollywood, with SGI machines contributing special effects, post-production work, and 3D animation to over 40 major productions.
Description: The year was 1988, just after Maniac Mansion. To me THIS was THE point and click adventure that defined freedom of choice in Lucasfilm games (then Lucasarts)... Well, at that time no one knew what freedom was in a videogame, anyhow I loved Zak and his crazy "Douglas Adams" world. The original Steve Purcell's cover (his name is on the crayons box) has been reconstructed in hi-res to fit the round cutout. Hope you like it as I do. ;-)
Description: Commodore was a North American home computer and electronics manufacturer. Commodore development of the home–personal computer industry in the 1970s and 1980s. The company developed and marketed one of the world's best-selling desktop computers of all time, the Commodore 64 (1982)
Description: Amiga was a family of computers produced by Commodore between 1985 and 1994. The original model is one of a number of mid-'80s PC's with 16-bit or 16/32-bit processors, 256 KB or more of RAM, mouse-based GUIs, and significantly improved graphics and audio compared to previous 8-bit systems. Amiga featured a custom chipset consisting of several coprocessors that handled audio, video, and direct memory access independently of the CPU. This architecture gave the Amiga a performance edge over its competitors, particularly for graphics-intensive applications and games.
Description: The Computer graphic screen on which Gary and Wyatt 'program' their own Kelly Le Brock in 1985's weird science movie. You can tell it's a serious piece of computing hardware because it requires X Y and Z coordinates. Which is why the computer babe they build is exactly 79 inches by 140 inches by 78 inches in size. ROFL. Great gift for 80s movie fans, retro computing geeks and weird scientists.
Description: Elephant Memory Systems (EMS) was a popular brand of floppy disk media produced by Leading Edge in the '80s. The name for the product was derived because of the common folk wisdom that an elephant never forgets. Elephant was founded in 1980. The brand was originally devised as an inexpensive, mass-market product, and its imposing pachyderm logo paired with bright yellow packaging, which was in stark contrast of the more conservative silvers and blues used by competitors. Investors feared this would undermine the credibility of the product, however, Elephant would become viewed as a premium product, eventually becoming one of the highest-margin floppies on the market and one of the best-selling media brands in history.
