The
screen of the Mouse Computer holds one of 10 activity cards. The 24 different
activity choices offer a wide range of challange levels and include engaging
topics such as
 | Next Letter |
| Hidden Word |
| Counting |
| Guess My Number |
and more.
The toy is intended for players ages 4 and up.
The Mouse Computer is a perfect combination of TI's superb speech synthesizer technology known from products like the Super Speak & Spell and the appearance of a small notebook.
Don't miss the Computer Fun introduced already in 1988.
