I'm not sure what those are like though... it says they're "clone versions" which could mean they're not actually called those names except as files. I'd like to have more information before I put them on the confirmed list. I added Lazy Jones though!

I try to get a screenshot or a box cover or a magazine review or preferably more than one of these things before I confirm a game. I didn't just cut and paste the lists I use on this site, they took a bit of work.

I'm sure a few mistakes slip through though!  Grin

It's odd that there's so little information about Einstein games, because I know they were published and you'd think SOMEONE on the internet would do a website about them.

Aergh... thanks for this!

I'm going to leave off the things the girl said she had because I'm trying to confirm stuff myself. Ebay photos will do etc. and I've added all the stuff I can see on that ebay auction.

Oh no, I can't afford anything right now. It's the information that's most valuable to me anyway.

I can't believe there's that much demand for Einstein stuff, maybe the price will come down...

I also had a collection of INFOCOM games for the Einstein (I sold them on ebay, wish I hadn't now!). They were : WISHBRINGER, HITCHHIKERS GUIDE TO THE GALAXY. Others for the Einstein are : SUSPENDED (I've got this), DEADLINE, SPELLBREAKER, ZORK 1 + 2.

There was another game I used to have for the Einstein called "THE WRECK" which had you going through a sunken ship looking for treasure. You had to harpoon jellyfish that attacked you. Classic!

I also used to have a speech synthesiser box for the einstein, and also something called "The Speculator" which allowed you to play selected Spectrum games on your Einstein.

I still enjoy playing titles such as "Time Trap" and "Space Trap" to this day. If anybody wants any more info, let me know. Great to discuss this classic machine!
