Video Game + Board Game = 1981!

In 1981, Magnavox developed and released The Quest for the Rings, an RPG that was a video game/board game hybrid, for their Odyssey 2 home console. The branding and retail presentation was well crafted and makes this a nice collector's piece.

The play is basic, but the dungeon master (called the Ringmaster) can actually be played by the computer which made this a cool and different option for tabletoppers in the early 80s.
