OK, I have been looking for this game forever. Not really to buy but just to find out what it is. My parents had it when I a kid. Was watching The History of Video Games the other night and seen it again so i had to going looking. Behind the guy in the screen shot is a sphere looking game next to the Simon. Does anyone have a clue what game that is? IF anyone can help you would be solving a 25 year mystery for me lol.

I'll be honest, I have no idea which game that could be.
Me just looking at it, it looks like one of those habitats for dwarf hamsters lol

That cream-colored, spherical electronic game with a blue dome is called "Computer Perfection," and it was invented by the man seen in your screenshot, Ralph Baer.
