Ancient Computers
In the forgotten era of Magnificent Mechanicals and Early Computing Mystics, the earliest computers were born.
The First Computer
The first computer, the Colossus, was a behemoth of a machine.
Built from brass and copper, it stood taller than a house and was as loud as a thunderclap.
It was powered by a team of skilled engineers who toiled day and night to keep it running.

The Colossus was used for calculations of great importance, such as calculating the trajectory of celestial bodies and predicting the best ways to cook a perfect soufflé.
Its successor, the Colossus II, was even more magnificent.
Magnificent Mechanicals
In the realm of Magnificent Mechanicals, engineers built contraptions of wonder.
The most notable among these was the Steam Powered Dreams, a device that harnessed the power of steam to do the impossible.
It was said that the Steam Powered Dreams could calculate pi to 50 decimal places in a single hour.
And so, the journey of ancient computers continued.
