Retrospective Theses and Dissertations

The recent and rapid advances in micro electronics technology has resulted in the continued and dramatic reduction in the cost and size of logic circuits used in computers and computer interfaced devices. This technology now makes it possible to purchase a sophisticated computer system and multiple terminal devices for less than $60,000. The subject of this Research Report is to show the feasibility of applying this computer system, including 32 phone line interfaced video display terminals and a time sharing software package, to vend computer generated games for profit.
