I remember the Einstein; great machine. We bought ours from Dixons (Christmas present for my younger brother), took it back, then re-bought it at a reduced price (wasn't the intention, just happened). Spent ages playing games on it.
we had an Einstein when i was a kid, remember playing the Konami 4 arcade game, my dad at the time spent hours putting 2 disk drives something like a 80 coloum card? and others, he actually figured out how to copy the Konami game pack so he could pass it on to friends etc, didn't think anyone would dedicate a website to them machines but brought back a load of memorys, can you get Kings valley in any other format because i used to love that game all the best Gaz

Hi,
I wrote Cursed Chambers / Zrim and Castle Quest / Quest back in the 80s whilst still at school. (In fact until this evening I had completely forgotten about Zrim which I really though was my most original game) Originally for the Sharp MZ80K then ported to various machines including Dragon and Einstein. I would love to secure an original. If you every come across one please email me as I would love to buy copies.
Regards

Hi, just thought I search up one of my old computers from years ago - the Einstein.
I wrote the software collection 'Games Night', when I was fed up, and explorer Einstein's capabilities.
Never received any royalities though - perhaps I should contact EmSoft, and see how many pennies I have.
I also contributed to the Einstein Magazines - Chuckie Egg cheat to skip levels, etc, and converted hundreds of games to use with the Einstein Speculator.
Its great to see that the Einstein is still 'alive'.
I wonder if my mam, still has my Einstein in the Attic, or did she gave it away. Wll ask her over xmas.

Just found your web site and its great to see someone still enthusiastic about the Einstein. I have just dusted off my Einstein and powered it up for the first time in about 20 years. It still works as good as the day I got it.
