All collectors are well aware of the Applied Concepts Great Game Machine

several modules were released for it beginning with the Morphy Edition

the company also released several add-on modules to enhance the playing ability
of the Morphy
the Capablanca Endgame module and the Gruenfeld opening book module

the concept was to start with the Gruenfeld then when the computer was out of
book the computer would signal for the player to switch to the Morphy and then
when the endgame was reached it signalled again to switch to the Capa

an additional program module..the Steinitz Edition 4 was released for the GGM
which incorporated all three modules into one

little known however is that  there were two versions of the Capa and Gruen
modules released.

referred to as " S" versions these were enhanced  modules with a larger opening
book for the Gruen and for the Capa an additional level was provided and also
the ability to see the position evaluation(score)

all in all..for a complete set of GGM Modules you have 6:
Gruenfeld
Gruenfeld  "S"
Morphy
Capabalnca
Capablanca "S"
Stenitz Edition 4
