Help to find the computer from the 70s who is emulated

Hi!

I want to have a research in the old computers from the 70s and I'm looking for miscellaneous emulators. The help I need is to find out the most primitive computers (emulators) from the mid 70's to the late 70's.
It can be a cool way to see how the computers were developed through the seventies. You know, see how the computers were getting better and better.
I was not born in that century so I had never the chance to have a look how these computers worked. Hope that I can be understood.

Thanks!

You can start with the Altair emulator. If you work with it enough, you can get many different flavors of S100 computers up and running. They started becoming available in about 1974 and were the first home/hobbyist computers.

Wow, Tandy emulators. My first experience with home computers was at Christmas in 1976. My friend's mother had a Tandy/RadioShack TRS-80. Programs on tape cassette. Monochrome graphics. She had games for it. I think she had some early text RPG, or something. I vaguely remember not being fascinated.

Thank you for the tip. This emulator seems a little bit..different...
Don't sure if I know how to get it from this site. Is it under construction?

Regards/Nick

Oh boy! That was a LOT of simulators!!! hehe

Hmm, I have never "work" with these things before, just emulators..
I guess there is some kind of a "tutorial" how the simulators are working
in one of those links. Guess it can be VERY tricky to understand
how these simulators work by yourself.
Anyone here who has experience of using these simulators?
Good or bad?

Thank you for that link discomeat!

Kenbak-1. You don't get much more primitive than that in the microcomputer era.
