Welcome to TrashBox-80 - the microcomputer nobody asked for, from Radio Smack!
Step back into the golden age of home computing with a lovingly recreated TRS-80 Model I-style experience built for retro-computing fans, BASIC programmers, and anyone who misses the days when a blinking cursor was an invitation to explore.
TrashBox-80 recreates the feel of a classic 48K microcomputer, complete with a green-screen display, block cursor, virtual keyboard, and Level II BASIC-style programming environment.
POWER UP. GET A PROMPT. START TYPING.
No accounts. No complicated setup. Just a computer, a cursor, and BASIC.
PROGRAM IN BASIC
Write, edit, run, save, and load BASIC programs directly inside TrashBox-80. Experiment with classic commands, create your own programs, learn old-school programming, or see just how much you can accomplish with a few lines of BASIC.
Whether you remember typing programs from magazines or you are discovering classic BASIC for the first time, TrashBox-80 gives you a hands-on way to explore the roots of personal computing.
BUILT-IN ARCADE
Don't feel like programming? Head over to the Arcade.
TrashBox-80 includes a collection of retro-inspired games designed to capture the simple, addictive fun of early home computers. Play Blockdrop, blast through space in Astro Blaster, test your luck at Blackjack and Acey-Ducey, play Hangman, explore text adventures, and more.
The intentionally old-school graphics and gameplay are part of the experience.
