Technical Description Code Name: Sector contains a
single integrated circuit. This is a custom-make IC
which Texas Instruments has designed specifically for
Parker Brothers. Based on the TI family of TMS-1000
microprocessors, this IC includes a RAM which can store
64 four-bit words and a ROM which stores 1000 eight-bit
words. Also included in the iC are all of the LED drivers.
Eleven controls can be reached by pressing a small,
recessed button with a ball-point pen. One control adds
complexity to the regular program of evasive tactics
of the hidden submarine. The other displays the submarine's
location and heading.
In 1883, an enterprising 16-year-old boy named George
S. Parker took $40 of his total $50 life savings to
publish and market a game he had invented called BANKING.
Little did he know that this small investment would
lead to the founding of one of America's oldest and
largest game manufacturers, PARKER BROTHERS.
THE ELECTRONIC AGE
For more than three-quarters of a century, PARKER BROTHERS
had been, as retired President Randolph Barton says,
"a company that had been dealing in paper, plastic
and glue." Things changed dramatically in 1977
when PARKER BROTHERS entered the electronic age. In
that year their first electronic game, CODE NAME: SECTOR,
was introduced.
Within an 18-month period, PARKER BROTHERS had developed
the capability of producing a variety of electronic
products, including MERLIN, the number-one selling hand-held
electronic game in 1980. With the introduction of the
NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEMS™, GAME BOY AND
SEGA™ GENESIS SYSTEMS™, PARKER BROTHERS
kept pace with the times and developed video versions
of its classics such as the MONOPOLY game, CLUE, RISK
and BOGGLE.

Elektronik-Spiel
- Sector von Parker - 1977 - 
Hier finden Sie meine anderen
Computer Sammlerstücke.
1977
erschien das erste Spiel mit Elektronikkomponenten für
den Massenmarkt. Bei Sector von Parker übernehmen
die Spieler das Kommando über einen Zerstörer
auf der Suche nach einem feindlichen U-Boot. Dieses
Boot ist rein imaginär und wird von der Elektronik
verwaltet. Weiters bekommen die Spieler die aktuelle
Geschwindigkeit und die Koordinaten ihres Zerstörers
und die Entfernung vom U-Boot im Display angezeigt.
Ist man beim U-Boot angelangt wirft man Wasserbomben
und muss hoffen die richtige Tiefe eingestellt zu haben.
Von der Packung: "Der Sector-Computer kann tausende
von Berechnungen in der Sekunde ausführen. Sein
Gedächtnis speichert zu jeder Zeit die Position,
Fahrtrichtung und Geschwindigkeit der Schiffe der
einzelnen Spieler. Er meldet unfehlbar Kollisionen,
Angriffe, Fehlschüsse und Treffer."
Kommt in der original Verpackung, mit den Spielfiguren
und der deutschen Anleitung. Ist getestet und läuft
wie eh und je.
