We take a first (short) look at Tangerine Computer System's ORIC-1, a British-made 6502-based computer that had some, but not a lot of success in the UK and France in the early 1980s, competing primarily against the ZX Spectrum. I couldn't manage to get any video output from the computer and normally that would mean I'd just shelve the video and move on to something else. But when I was told I could blindly get the computer to make sounds through the internal speaker, I had so much fun with it that I still made this video. Sorry! At least it's short by my standards.
