Computer Perfection Game, 1979-1985

Summary

Lakeside released the futuristic-looking Computer Perfection game in 1979. Opening the domed lid activated an on/off switch and initiated a series of beeps and flashes. Players could choose one of four simple games. In the late 1970s, a number of toy companies produce electronic games for a computer-fascinated public. These toys helped usher in more sophisticated electronic gameplay.
