The APF Imagination Machine is a combination home video game console and computer system released by APF Electronics Inc. in late 1979. It was composed of two separate components, the APF-M1000 game system, and an add on docking bay with full sized typewriter keyboard and tape drive. The APF-M1000 was built specifically to compete with the Atari 2600.
“The Imagination Machine was a microcomputer launched in 1979. It was made of two components – the first being the games console, the [MP1000](https://ramokromok.com/platforms/apf-mp1000/), and the second being a docking component which added a keyboard and tape drive to the console. Once the two were paired, it turned into The Imagination Machine!
