| has gloss | eng: ComputerSmarts was a console-based computer system which was produced by Connor Electronics in 1987 for children ages 6–12. It was designed to be primarily used in conjunction with 50 minute interactive VHS tapes which would guide the user through different exercises in spelling, punctuation, typing, math, and sentence structure. The console would be connected to the television through an analog cable plugged into the Audio Out port. It featured a standard QWERTY keyboard with sets of keys color-coded to aid the user in typing exercises. It could also be used as a stand-alone console either by inserting a ROM cartridge or by selecting one of the pre-programmed games which included a music synthesizer. |
