I am glad there are still people out there that remember the Tatung Einstein. I think it's a great computer, so many memories! I first got mine when I was 8. Still have it now, and I built up a pretty good collection of games. Admin, you wanted a list, I'll give you one! Here's a list of games I know of, quite a few I have.
Great! You get a karma point for that!
Are you ABSOLUTELY SURE that these games exist, I mean do you actualy own them, or are they just games you heard about?
I ask because as I said above I'm trying to do this from a precautionary point of view, I only add a game if I have some evidence to say it existed.
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.
Ahh, so they DID make it then? Yeah, there was an article about it in an old edition of Crash.
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!
Well, feel free to start some threads here! This seems to be the only Einstein board on the internet...

It's a good list eh! Yes, these games do exist. Proving it will take longer
I have 23 titles from the list. I have pictures I have taken of them which I can send you via email (need an address) to prove their existence. The others will be harder! I used to have an old Einstein catalogue with all the titles listed, I'll see if I can still find it.
In fact, I have a contact who could get a hold of any of those titles in my list even to this day, I'll see if he can get me a list.

Yes, the Speculator cost £50 and allowed me to play 12 selected Spectrum titles on the Einstein, I can remember just two of them, which were "The Hobbit" and I think "Atic Atac". Happy days  I can't believe I through it away. What an idiot!
I'll post my own thread here shortly, see if anybody wants to talk more about the Einstein

The pictures would be great, I'll give you an address to send them to in a private message on here.
Catalogues aren't always reliable though, especially for machines that never really took off. They give clues for what to look for, but don't really confirm anything's existence. I've seen plenty of modern games I know for a fact were cancelled but are still on offer on sites that can't be bothered to update their catalogues.
In fact, I have a contact who could get a hold of any of those titles in my list even to this day, I'll see if he can get me a list.
Hmm... is this an "einstein scene"? Is there even an einstein scene?

Wouldn't it have been better to just buy a Spectrum though? That way you could have played way more than 12 games!

I appreciate what you are saying Admin.
However, I have always dealt carefully with ebay. I am dealing with the original supplier of Einstein software for Dasse's request.
