TANDY MC10
 
The Tandy MC 10 (MC means Micro Color) was designed as an "initiation" computer. It is basically a cut down version of the Tandy "Coco" computers, but it didn't have a great success.
It is fully compatible with the first version of the Matra Alice (a French computer). Actually both are the same computer (except for the case color, the Alice is red and the Tandy is white).

Emulator
The Virtual MC-10 version 0.69c. The high number indicates that it's fun, useful, and as good an MC-10 emulator as you'll find anywhere! Okay, so it's lacking in debugging features, and it doesn't ROM-patch for faster loading. Oh well!  It does have great support and color.
