Looking for VERY OLD game

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.arcade.collecting (More info?)

Hey all...I'm remembering a game from my childhood, and I'm not even
sure it exists. Here are some of the highlights.

1) It had a full keyboard, albeit not a standard one, the keys were
rather small as I recall.
2) It talked.
3) It actually remembered the last time you had played.

I recall this being at a local Chuck E Cheeses at around the same time
as I was playing excitebike (so before the NES became popular)?

I know this is kind of vague information to go on, but does anyone know
of this thing existing?

Private replies appreciated.

Excitebike? Chuck E. Cheese? VERY OLD? Something doesn't go together
there...

Sounds like a mid-to-late 1980's game.

Y'know, I do forget about the different ages in here and how "old" to
someone may mean "newer" to others.

All in all, it's still this darn addiction, er, hobby.
