IBM AN-FSQ-7 panels from the SAGE system have been appearing in movies for half a century now, and still look futuristic.
They're still for rent as props.[1] Amusingly, none of those are part of the computer itself. Those futuristic slanted panels are modems. The other panels with all the lights are test gear. The computer itself was an entire building full of plug-in racks of tubes.
Starring the Computer is a website dedicated to the use of computers in film and television. Each appearance is catalogued and rated on its importance (ie. how important it is to the plot), realism (how close its appearance and capabilities are to the real thing) and visibility (how good a look does one get of it). Fictional computers don't count (unless they are built out of bits of real computer), so no HAL9000 - sorry.
Yes, I meant to do that. I posted the link and wanted to give some context on what to expect on the site. (HN does that automatically when you add a description to a link)
I just realized there's two ways to take that quote, with a rather stark difference between them. In one case, I would love to play a game. In the other, I would most definitely not, thank you very much.
You could probably come up with a generational demarcation between responses to the line (even if technically misquoted for one of them), if you were so inclined.
