 TOUCAN'S
TRIVIA: This game was originally scheduled to be released in
1979 as part of Milton Bradley's Gamevision series under the title Card Sharp. However, for unknown
reasons the game was never put out by MB during that time. Instead, the
game was later renamed Blackjack
& Poker and released through TI in 1981. |

TRIVIA: Don't let the copyright on the title screen fool you!
Even though the screen says (C) 1980 Texas Instruments, it is actually
a
1979 Milton Bradley game which was put out through TI's lines. One
speculation on the copyright change is that a bug was found in the
program which MB (in 1979) was not able to figure out, but TI was later
(in 1980) able to solve. Therefore, TI put their name on the copyright since MB
most likely had given up on the program and allowed TI to rebrand the
game. |
| TOUCAN'S
TRIVIA: A game called Las
Vegas Poker & Blackjack was
released for the Mattel Intellivision in 1980, a year before Blackjack & Poker hit the
market. |
