Might it have been on an Intercolor computer? There were two models: a
mid-to-late-70s model and a late-70s to early-80s model.
Imagination Machines are hard to come by, but the APF M1000 video game
system can be found occasional on eBay. I've got a couple myself.
Here's a games list for the M1000:

I'm not sure how thorough this is supposed to be.
