Lunar Outpost

Announcement of this cartridge's planned release came at the summer Consumer Electronics Show which was held at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL June 5-9, 1983. The information is taken from an article written by Houston User Group member Jane McAshen, who visited the CES and then reported on her experiences in the July 1983 issue of the HUG Newsletter.
