Albert Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Yes, and CBS made games for a wide variety of game consoles and computer systems. They even had a whole educational line of software for home computers back then. In Europe, CBS Electronics even sold the ColecoVision (and Coleco's games) under their own brand name. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mos6507 Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Interesting how he is talking about online bill paying, something that is a fairly recent thing. He also says nobody wants to balance their checkbook with a computer but it made the makers of Quicken into millionaires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Oddly enough CBS-branded Coleco titles are in completely different cases, more akin to Sega's Grip-style case) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mindfield Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 WKRP -- Turkey Fly: The Game lol!! Now THERE'S a game! Won't be much point to it but it'd certainly be a lot of fun. As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 It would be like Sky Diver without the parachutes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindfield Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 It would be like Sky Diver without the parachutes... Actually, you could paint a bull's eye on the ground and try and aim your turkeys at it. The closer to the center you get the more points you get -- much like how you get more points in Sky Diver the later you open your chute. I smell a hack coming on. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
