Description
VideoBrain Model 101A, including transformer and Leomonade Stand game cassette. The VideoBrain Family Computer was an 8-bit home computer designed and produced by Umtech Inc., doing business as the VideoBrain Computer Company of California in 1977. It is based on the Fairchild Semiconductor F8 CPU and is notable for being the first fully programmable cartridge-based home computer. It was not a commercial success. The Lemonade Stand program functions as an educational business simulation game. Users operate a virtual lemonade stand where decisions like how much lemonade to produce, how much to charge, and how much to spend on advertising must be weighed against a variety of market factors including market competition and the vagaries of the weather.
