The monochrome display retailed for $799.99 USD ($2,063.94 in 2021), with the color display retailing for $999.99. Later models would be capable of outputting to standard TV sets. The last model was discontinued in 1993. Notable titles include Dungeon Master, Oids, Sundog and MIDI Maze.
 Although this price might seem high by today's standards, it was actually one of the more affordable computers for the time. This, plus offering an all-around superior monochrome display in general, made it quite successful in the business market.
-The "ST" stands for Sixteen Thirty-two, in reference to the 16 and 32-bit components it utilizes.
