Wow! I can’t believe I never heard of this.
Despite being born in Yugoslavia and alive at that time, I’ve never encountered or heard of Galaksija in my life. Sinclair stuff was pretty common: Spectrum and the older zx80, Commodore, even Amiga in the late 80s/early 90s. The only domestic machine I ever encountered was Orao.

- otto2 3y agoIt was really "popular" in 1984 and 1985, and for hobbyists only. If you started being interested in computers after 1985 there was a big chance to never hear of it.

- tomca32 3y agoIndeed I haven't, thanks for sharing. Wow a computer developed in Nis. Never thought I'd read about that.
- hahamaster 3y agoGalaksija was a very impressive undertaking considering the fact that it was made by a single person. However, it was underpowered compared to other computers accessible to citizens of Yugoslavia at the time. I was a little kid back then but even I looked at Galaksija as mediocre in terms of power and features. My parents were middle class but we could afford a more powerful computer with color graphics and more memory.
