Quote post your worst placeholder art.

This is the current title page of a minigame in Music Power Up. Yes, I’ll fix it… eventually.
A placeholder game title page with just "Game Title" written and a fake "Play" button painted like by a 6 years old.

Kids, these are called computer cassette tapes. You can store games and programs on them, which you load up with a simple command on your computer. Old people used to trade games on the playground at school.

Sorry, Amiga fans, but Xenon actually sounded better on the Atari ST, even with its crappy sound chip.

New! A machine that COMPOSES MUSIC
An ad from a 1957 issue of Popular Electronics magazine. Up top, the title: "New! A machine that COMPOSES MUSIC!" To the top left, an image of the "Geniac Electric Brain," a masonite board with a set of six ceramic dials in which electronic components may be mounted; these dials are turned for input and the connections underneath serve as the analog "timer" of sorts; the side has a series of four lights, the machine's output. To the top right, an image of a tune created by the Geniac. Below, dense type promotes the machine ("Yes, you can build any one of 33 electric brain machines!" "Over 400 components and parts!" "Your cost for GENIAC kit: Only $19.95 postpaid" (roughly $200 today). A sidebar lists institutions that have purchased GENIACs (including IBM, Bell, and Westinghouse); at the bottom is an ordering sheet for the Oliver Garfield Co., plus options to show interest in various other scientific fields.
