Dynasty Computer Corporation was a short-lived American multi-level marketing company active from 1980 to 1983 and based in Dallas, Texas. The company exclusively sold home computer systems through door-to-door demonstrations (a la Avon) and was the first company to sell computers via direct selling. Dynasty's line-up of computers comprised only two systems: the Smart-Alec II, a rebadged Exidy Sorcerer; and the Smart-Alec Jr., a rebadged VTech Laser 200. Dynasty went defunct in November 1983 amid mounting competition from IBM and their upcoming PCjr.
