I have a working TRS 80 sitting around in storage if you wish to go there. Used to have a couple but someone asked me to gut one to make them a pc inside the case. Took a while but I finally worked it out.

First computers I used were trs80, Apple IIc, and IBM XT. While the graphics in the games were stick figure theater the games played rather well.
