JR 01 Computer
YEAR: 1972
ITEM: Childrens' Comp./Game
COMPANY: Electronic Data Controls Corporation
COUNTRY: USA
IN OUR COLLECTION: Yes
The JR01 Computer is an American adaptation of the popular 1970 French children's game JR 01 Ordinateur. It was developed in conjunction with Honeywell and released in the USA in 1972 as a tool to help children learn the principles of data processing. This set includes both Instruction Book #1 and #2, as well as a printout playing board for game #4.
This particular game was purchased for $5.99 from a Savers thrift store, where someone likely donated it after finding it collecting dust somewhere.
