Before Google...
Robot "gives the right answer" game, Jumbo, 1950's, The Netherlands |
Robot "Magical Computer" game, Jumbo, 1950-60's ?,The Netherlands |
Why does a toy company change the name of one of their best selling games mid-term ? I don't really know which version came first - my best guess is the green one - at least for the Dutch market. I know other versions were made in other languages all over the planet. The design of the plastic robot pointing at the answers with a metallic needle (yes, toy safety maniacs - a big metallic needle !) also changed through the years. Maybe "Magic Computer" came into fashion ? Or is it the multilingual version of the box ? (even though all blue question cards are in Dutch and not in French or German like te box would suggest)

Space Pirates ? GI Joe - Action Man did not have this one...
Space Pirate costume for Action Joe figure, CEJI Arbois, 1976, Hong Kong |
Anyone recognizes the logo and the cosmodragoon in the holster ? Yeap... same ones as the CEJI Albator doll ! (see here)
Palitoy had Captain Zargon, but the Frenchies had to be different... bien sûr !
