The Tandy 1000 was a freebie (from a friend from a cow-orker who wanted $20
for the dot-matrix printer, but the computer was free). The other item is
a Milton-Bradley electronic sub hunt game from the late 1970s. Electronically,
it resembles Mattel football and the like - a window of LED displays, a few
discretes (to indicate cardinal points on a compass) and a bunch of buttons.
The manual is present with a tutorial. Apparently, you reset the thing,
then plot ship courses with crayons on a grid map, punching buttons all the
way. I can't imagine trying to _actually_ play the game, but playing *with*
the game was fun for at least as long as the tutorial lasted.
Oh... the game was $0.67 at a thrift store because it was 75% off day for
green tags.
