When I was a little kid around 1990 you could book computer time at our very small local library. I would walk across town by myself. The computer was an apple IIe with a green monochrome monitor. You could play Oregon trail and a handful of other educational titles.

By then you should have had PCs and be playing things like Kings Quest or Loom.

My schools still had Apple IIes in 1995.

To be fair, they never said it was a new computer, just a computer. The things were incredibly expensive at the time.
