Post by: ZbyniuR on 14:25, 22 May 23
Hi. I try found source of this picture below, maybe some magazine or advert.
I mean some papers from 80s, not internet source. Any idea where is it from?  :)

Dude, that question was settled when the original Pacman joystick was released...

Here is the source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_computer#/media/File:Cpc464.computer.750pix.jpg

The photographer himself uploaded it to Wikipedia.

It's perfectly possible that it's just from his personal library. And since it's Public Domain, it's probably used a lot on the internet.

You can get in contact with him on this page, in case you want to get more details:

Maybe you can ask the creator of this picture:

It seems, that he is still active.
