MessageHi, brilliant site. Great to see that the Tatung Einstein is still remembered and the games used. I used to write games for the Tatung under the name of Bell Software, which I am delighted to see you have on your list of programs.
I have been playing some of my own games (of course) and 'City Defender' leaves a bit to be desired. So I will be getting out my old program listings and making a few corrections. Would you like these when I have them sorted?
I have loads of Tatung stuff in the loft, so I'll see if I have anything that's on your wanted list .....looks like you have quite a lot already though. If I have anything that will add to your collection, I'll let you know.
Once again, great site, thaks for all your hard work.

MessageHello! Fantastic site, thanks for putting all the effort in to make this happen!

Cursed Chambers was a major part of my childhood and it's great to play it again!

I do have one issue, though, when I run Cursed Chambers in the MESS emulator the time does not increment. My number of moves and other variables increment just fine, but the time value doesn't change and I think that's the reason wizards don't talk to me and the game can't be completed. Do you have this problem when you run Cursed Chambers?

MessageHello. I don't want to raise your hopes, but I HAD a bag of old software and Einstein mags from the 80s knocking around.

Let me have a look over the next week or two, and if I can find them, they're yours. I don't want anything for them IF I still have them - it would be good to know they are going to a good home!

The Einstein was a big part of my childhood as well. Many happy memories on chucky egg and jetset willy!!

I'll be in touch.

Messagehello Mario!
I've just discovered your site; it's fantastic!
Thank you for a great work and for a lot of information and documentations that you have organized and that you are sharing with the rest of us.

I've recently got an Einstein Computer from garbage but it's work fine (i think) and I'm looking for 3 inch floppies to complete testing hardware.

see you soon,
Salvatore

MessageJust a message for Tony Brewer, Hi Tony, it's been a long time, Graham Bettany and I met you a few times and talked about your brilliant Speculator for the Einstein. The Speculator book I wrote was a very basic introduction to using the thing but I enjoyed working with it immensely. I owe you one great apology for not including in the book your name as the creator of the Speculator. Hope you are well.

All the very best

MessageHi Mario!
Just popped by for old times' sake! Great to see the site (and the Einey!) still thriving. Interest in the dear old machine seems to be stronger than ever! Can't believe it is nearly 5 years since I bundled all my bits and pieces into a cardboard box for the last time and waved them goodbye for ever, but wow! - looking at this now, and what you've done with those goodies since, it's the best thing I ever did!! Great thank you put on here for me too! I feel honoured to have played a small part in what you have achieved here, even if all I actually did in reality was to chuck out my old stuff!!
Long may you continue to maintain this wonderful shrine to the most underrated computer ever built.
Fond memories indeed!!
Regards and very best wishes,
David.

MessageWow! Just tonight my boyf was looking for retro spectrum games for his new ipad and came across chuckie egg. That then brought plenty of memories flooding back to me about my very first computer - a tatung Einstein! My dad brought it home (he's still friends with john's son and works with him as an electrician these days). Kings valley, gloop, maxima, qogo 2, gronks.....those were the days. Looking down your extensive list of software made me smile. Brilliant memories of staying up late on a school night playing all the above and more - avoiding the homework as much as was possible! I'm 29 now!! Am also certain my 'p' button broke due to excessive right turns! Haha
Happy days,
Lucy

MessagePaul Howell ,now theres a name from the past. David had a lot to answer for. I was knicknamed the tame boffin because I was able to provide cheat mods for most games, my most famous was getting into Konami ,especially Kings Valley. The other which was scrawled on the kitchen wall at David Howells was for TimeTrap ,you couldn't die but this led to getting trapped in places you weren't meant to get to so I added a safe way back using the escape key. The kitchen wall read FE IB C0 (return if the escape key was pressed) Everyone came to call this feeb coo Happy days.
