Nothing
else than the United Kingdom edition of the Computer Fun
introduced 4 years earlier in the United States.
Please remember that American English and British English are different, e.g. "color and math" vs. "colour and maths". For that reason Texas Instruments developed a new set of Speech-ROM's just for United Kingdom. Everything else is identical with the original US-version of the educational toy.
In other countries the Computer Fun got not only other voices, even the keyboard layout changed. Don't miss the German Computer Fun.
Later a similar product was sold with the Mouse
Computer.
