		<description><![CDATA[Some seriously retro geekery for you here, with Gakken&#8217;s launch of the GMC4 4-bit microcomputer. Self-assembly required, it features a 20-key keypad, single 7-segment LED, seven individual LEDs, and comes with seven bits of software built in: an organ (basic tone generator), sound hit game, whack-a-mole, tennis, a timer, music player and morse code generator. Here&#8217;s a cool knol on programming the Gakken GMC-4 microcomputer, and below is a video demoing a little of what it can do. If you want to get your hands on the GMC4, it&#8217;s bundled with volume 24 of Gakken&#8217;s “Otona no Kagaku” Magazine. Via]]></description>
