The Computer Perfection ๐๐น๏ธ๐ฎ๐พ
16Released by Lakeside in 1979, was a ground-breaking electronic game of its time that was touted as "the ultimate playmate". The game, housed in a transparent blue dome, was activated by lifting the dome, revealing four games and three skill levels to choose from.
The four games offered unique challenges to players:
1๏ธโฃ Countdown: This one-player scenario tasked players with lighting all 10 lights in the correct order in the fewest number of moves.
2๏ธโฃ Black Hole: Another one-player game, Black Hole had the same objective as Countdown but with an added twistโif you pressed an already lit button, the game would turn off all the lights ahead of it and the light itself.
3๏ธโฃ Brain Battle: A two-player game, one player had to turn off all the lights starting with number one, while the other player had to turn all the lights on, starting with number six.
4๏ธโฃ Light Race: This two-player game was a race to turn on more than five lights.
Computer Perfection was not just a game; it was a sign of the times. In the late 1970s, a number of toy companies began producing electronic games for a public fascinated with computers. These toys, Computer Perfection included, helped usher in a new era of more sophisticated electronic gameplโay.
Computer Perfection, gained considerable media attention for its cameo in the second season of "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" (1979-1981). In the episode "Mark of the Saurian," viewers can notice Computer Perfection's distinct blue dome beside Buck's (Gil Gerard) bed in the Searcher sick bay.
