The AURORA-88 is a fictional 1980s Japanese home computer inspired by the NEC PC-88 era, reimagined through an anime cyber-retro lens. It blends early personal computing aesthetics with a soft futuristic charm, as if it existed in an alternate timeline where AI and gaming evolved earlier.
The system features a pale gray CRT monitor with gentle curvature and faint scanlines, emitting a warm, slightly glowing white-green tint. On-screen, it runs an ASCII-style DOS-like interface.
