captpackrat 02/26/23 2:22:33 PM #7:	I probably have everyone beat on obscure games with the HP 67/97, a pair of programmable calculators originally released in 1976. The two devices have the same basic functionality despite having very different keyboards. The 67 was handheld and the 97 was a desktop version and came with a bigger keyboard and a thermal printer. Both run on rechargeable batteries, with the 97 having a much larger battery pack. The MSRP for the HP 97 was $750, the equivalent of $4000 today! Programs come on magnetic strips that you load by feeding it through a slot on the side. The Games Pac includes Blackjack, Dice, Slot Machine, Racetrack, Submarine Hunt, Artillery, Space War, Super Bagels, Queen Board, Hexapawn, Nim, Tic-Tac-Toe, Wari, Teaser, Golf, The Dealer, Bowling Scorekeeper, Biorhythms, and Timer. I also have the Standard Pac which includes a number of utilities and a game, Moon Rocket Lander. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/0/7/AAQwHjAAEOJL.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/0/8/AAQwHjAAEOJM.jpg https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/0/9/AAQwHjAAEOJN.jpg --- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, Minutus carborata descendum pantorum. <cite>captpackrat posted [p:971819823] in Old school...
