even when the system itself is terrible, like C64.

Slightly off topic but when I was a kid in grade one, woulda been like 1991-1992, the computers at school had this neat fishing game on it. I can't for the life of me remember what the game was but the computer was slightly darker grey and had a trackball built directly into the unit. All I remember is the delighful blocky colours and how cool the trackball controls felt and I've been trying to learn the system/game ever since. Does that ring a bell to anyone?

The unisys Icon was a popular machine in Canadian schools. it matches your description as it has a built in trackball located on the right side of the keyboard, next to the attached monitor.

it had a game called offshore fishing.

it seems quite obscure, as the first search results for emulator and roms turn up nothing.

HAHA! YEP! That's it! I love the graphics style of a lot of the games! It was like a blend of vector and MS-DOS styles. So much fun and so cool to have so much trackball compatibility. I might have to track one of these down.
