Computers covers machines from Britain, America, Japan, and Europe: Sinclair, Acorn, Amstrad, Commodore, Apple, Atari, Tandy, Sharp, NEC, and many more. If it had a keyboard and ran BASIC, it's probably in here.
No internet connection required (but links to many sources for further information). No ads. No tracking. No in-app purchases to unlock functionality. It's good old retro shareware!
