Texas Instruments TI-99/4A PC

This dinosaur was found in the original box with the power supply.
They could be daisy chained with peripherals that could take up an entire desktop.
My first home computer was a TI-99/4a!

I wrote a version of the snakes (or Tron Light Cycles) game on it. One player would use the WASD keys and the other player would use the IJKL keys.

I also made it so that if you pressed the '2' key, the right player would die. If you pressed the '8' key, the left player would die. I made my little brother die 3 times before he figured out that I was cheating.
 
Yes, I saw these in Germany as a kid. Played moon landing on one, I believe. It just got you to enter various numbers for your rocket boosters etc and then would tell you how deep the crater was that you made while landing, and that they were going to name it after you. :)
