ABSTRACT:
A programmable device such as a toy or novelty item wherein there is a body. There is also a keyboard on an independent cartridge with a microprocessor which can be activated by a user to selectively cooperate with the body and set up any one of multiple different motions of the toy. Sounds and lights in the body can be activated to coordinate with the movement. The toy can be a car or other device capable of moving in the environment. The keyboard on the cartridge can also be used independently to play a game programmed with the microprocessor in the cartridge, the game being independent of the body. The game can relate to issues of vehicle driving. An alarm clock feature can be included in the cartridge.
