Watching Family Ties tonight, they were playing with a computer on their kitchen table. Here's the relevant clip including screenshots of the Baseball game they were playing:
A screenshot from a slightly different angle:
What's driving me crazy is I can't figure out if this is a real computer, I have not seen anything similar, and my Google-fu is failing me tonight. It had a keyboard that slid into the main unit like a drawer.
I am wondering if it was a mock-up/prop of some sort, but the screenshots and animation looked sort of convincing. The closest game I could find was Star League Baseball, had the same general look and layout but no stats in the lower left corner. I also thought Earl Weaver Baseball looked similar, although the baseball diamond was oriented differently.
Anyone know if this computer was a real thing?
