Computron

I love this! Computron was a small computer looking game that had buttons on it with all the letters and numbers. The keys also had options for different games like Hangman, and learning for math, spelling, create your own music etc. It was really cool. I still have mine and my son plays with it now. It had the old style computer lettering and the undecipherable male voice that makes it even more cool!

Do You Remember Computron?

I still have a Talking Lesson One from when I was young, that looked similar to this

Ah, poor editing. Delete "leaving" from "After leaving several moves...", add a close paran after "unpacked it". Sorry, the application "Foolish User" has unexpectedly quit because a system error occurred. Bad F-line instruction.

I kinda still have one, abandoned on a top closet shelf at my mom's place. It was one of those "educational" things foisted on me that I was supposed to use regularly. After leaving several moves (where I deliberately never unpacked it, I eventually discovered a few "hacks" for it in 5th or 6th grade, revealing a few capabilities that for some reason were not accessible without opening the case and crossing a few wires (different ones for each feature). Mine was the silver-and black edition and a bit more compact. It seems to have also been sold in a few other shapes and colours, and I think I've heard of a talking version.

It was a learning computer. I got it for my brithday when I was younger and I played it all of the time. It was made by Vtech.
