    I dare to suggest that this is simply a calculator or a notebook for small notes or telephone numbers.

    Two small batteries are not enough for this to be some kind of game. One battery is most likely needed to store the clock and date, and the second for the device to work. Also considering the fact that the company merangue produces calculators, so most likely, as I said earlier, this is most likely a calendar and a calculator.

    Not fair Doug - I was thinking a banana merange pie or a chocolate merange pie :-) They are yummy.

    So apparently a calculator with calendar functionality. I did not manage to find out any more about it though.

    Congratulations vmate - you nailed it.

    Great work digging this up.

    The one I have is just rebranded from this product. Mine doesn't work any more, so I cannot demonstrate it.
