					<description><![CDATA[<p>With its distinctive (and not at all annoying) soiund effects and electronc target selection, MB Electronics took the traditional "seek and destroy" game of battleships to a new level with the launch of this computerised version in 1977. Certainly, for those of us of a certain age, *this* was most definitely on our wish lists...</p>
<p>The computerisation comes in the form of "recording" the location of each player's ships and then with the co-ordinate firing system, which remembers those locations and reacts accordingly. All of this computerisation is accompanied by beeps, naturally, and appropriate sound effects for missed and hit targets and ultimately for complete destriuction of a player's fleet. It's a lot of fun and extremely nostalgic. We know this because it has been tested as working!</p>
<p>This one comes complete with all vessels and counters and instruction booklet (which you will probably need!). The battery terminals are good and clean (often they aren't). The outer box isn't going to win any prizes for aesthetics, but it functions and all of the inner packaging is present and in good order.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>This is "Intercept" by Lakeside which dates from 1978. It's an electronic game for two players played on a tabletop board resembling a gridded map. One player takes the role of fighter pilot (attack) and the other takes the role of missile commander (defence). The aim of the game is for the pilot to avoid detection and make it across the grid to the target and destroy it, and for the defence commander to obviously seek out and destroy the fighter before that happens. If you can imagine it, it's a little bit like an evolving game of computer battleship.  It's part mechanical, part electronic and is a noisy game... and also engaging once you get the hang of it and the strategy.</p>
<p>It's uncommon to find this electronic game in working and complete condition, including the original instruction manual and all the playing pieces, but here is one. It takes one 9V battery and the battery compartment is nice and clean. Otherwise, very little cosmetic signs of age and wear. The box does have some signs of both, but it's in good shape considering its age.</p>
