Yonezawa SICOM 16

My SICOM 16 looks an awful lot like the new Yonezawa CYLON 16. It has 7 built in games (some with rather suspectly spelt names though it's better in the instruction book) which are described as "Major Programs" for adults and 9 more games using the overlays called "Kiddy Programs".

The game has 26 touch sensitive buttons that respond and sound a lot like Merlin with very similar Loud bleeps and buzzes. The centre white triangular piece slots off then back on in order to hold the overlays in place. The tab on the overlays must always be placed upwards closest to the speaker, so most of the Kiddy games have to be played with the speaker held to the right except Booby Trap and Baseball game which are played with the game upside-down!

The cards each have holes in different positions except the 'Booby Trap' game which has no holes and therefore is sound only. Only 'Flitting Mouse' has holes in all the places.

I knew I had seen this game under a different name somewhere... Maybe you sent me images a while back that I have on another computer or something... Rolling Eyes

I will, of course, steal your images and add them to the website. Mr. Green
