Can anyone help me? I'm trying to remember the name of an old educational computer/game I had as a child. I was born in '75, so this would have probably been in the early to mid '80's. I could have sworn the name was Computron, but the only Computrons I could find during my research looked more like an old computer. This game was more of a notebook style - like the Speak and Spell, only it opened up kind of like the old Sears Quiz A Tron. It was blue and had a velcro tab closure. When you opened it up, the "keyboard", which was similar to that of the Speak and Spell, was vertical, not horizontal like the original Computron. It had games similar to those I'm finding out were on the old Computron...hangman, spelling, math, etc. I'd really like to find out what this game was because I'd like to get my hands on one for my own kids. I'm sure my mom got rid of mine when I outgrew it, because we lived in a small trailer with very limited storage.

I'd really appreciate any help...surely someone out there remembers my computer/game!  Thanks.

Did you mean electron for DOS?

Other possibilities come to mind that I can't think of the name.
