In Germany this trainer was called Kosmos Spielcomputer Logikus and it
was released in 1968. It had a GDR counterpart named PIKOdat. Calling this
a "computer" is very, ehm, exaggerative.
Nit-pick: The publisher is "Frankh'sche Verlagshandlung Stuttgart" or
"Kosmos Verlag Stuttgart", not "Frankh'Sche Verlag Stuttgart"
