Tiny Computers vs Phridge

Ten miniature machines from decades of computing sit on the table in front of you, each with a working screen and a keyboard you can type on. Spend a little time with an old favourite, or discover the computer your parents grew up with. Some computers stay with you long after you stop using them. Now there's room for them on your desk again. EXPLORE THE COLLECTION Ten computers are ready to play with, inspired by the Macintosh, Commodore 64, IBM PC, Amiga 500, Windows 95, ThinkPad, iMac G3, iBook G3, PowerBook G4 and Windows XP. TYPE, DRAW AND PLAY Enjoy clicking keyboards, working command lines, paint programs, floppy disks and familiar desktop games. Open windows, write a note, draw something small and explore each computer's personality. Type 10 PRINT on the Commodore, run BASICA ROOFTOP at the DOS prompt, or load BRICKS from the Amiga's floppy. Occasionally, even Windows crashes. FIFTY NOSTALGIC SECRETS Every computer hides five nostalgic secrets: pieces of real computing history, a hidden game and, where its era had them, screen savers. Turn on the Hot Dog Stand colour scheme, ask the 1541 for its directory, meet Rover, or fill a 1984 Mac's memory until the bomb appears. Each computer's page in the collection keeps track of what you've found. Stuck? Open a hint, one at a time: what it is, where to look, then exactly what to do. ON IPHONE AND IPAD Each computer appears on your screen as a real little machine resting on an oak table, with its own case, keys and controls. On iPad, the whole computer is in front of you. On iPhone, turn sideways to see the whole machine, then zoom into its screen or its keyboard. ON IPHONE DUO, IT BECOMES THE COMPUTER iPhone Duo is the special case. Fold your Duo into tabletop mode and the phone itself transforms into the computer: the screen stands up above and a working keyboard lies flat below, so you hold and type on the machine itself. Close your Duo to browse the collection and choose your next exhibit. All ten computers are included. No ads, subscriptions or in-app purchases.

Phridge is a little fridge that lives in your phone. Cover the door in notes, magnets and photos of your loved ones, fill the shelves with groceries, and knock things over just to hear them land. THE DOOR • Tap the pen to write a note, type it or draw on it • Tap the camera to snap a photo or pick one from your library to keep it on the fridge • Add magnets, or spell out words with letter magnets • Tap the name on the door to call your fridge whatever you like • Drag anything around, and drop it in the trash can when you're done with it THE INSIDE • Groceries, from milk cartons and fizzy drinks to ice cream tubs and a whole salmon • Pick things up and move them around the shelves • Drop them on the floor: cans pop, fizzy bottles burst, cartons splat and glass shatters • Swap your hand for a slingshot to fire stones at the shelves, or a sword to slice things in two MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Close your iPhone Duo to shut the door and open it to look inside.
