  • Welcome to the Retro Tech Loft, thanks for stopping by, it is much appreciated!
    Recap: The Tatung Einstein was primarily aimed at business users when it was launched in the early 1980s. With its 80 column addon card and CPM compatibility, it was perfect for business. It just arrived a little too late.
    Competing with the likes of the ZX Spectrum and the Amstrad CPC, the appeal for home use never really took off, even thouugh Tatung had some excellent programs.
    The Einstein found a niche in the games development world at places like Ocean Software and Software Creations in the UK, where it was used as a development machine, downloading code to ZX Spectrums, Amstrads and even C64s via serial link. Many of the most famous games on these platforms were developed on the Einstein, but sadly never released on the source machine.
    I have tasked myself with finding games that run on the Einstein that were never released, and are either mythical or only seen a handful of times.
    In this 3rd video, I will showcase one of the latest games I have found that was released but has very little exposure. I cannot find this for download anywhere online so I imagine it had a limited release all those years ago. It is listed as being released via www.tatungeinstein.co.uk, but there is no image of it to download.
    Hyperball by Taurus software and released by Merlin in (I would imagine) 1984-1985
    I offer it now for you all here: mikesretrotech...
    If you have any Einstein discs that have never been showcased, drop me a message. I would love to get my paws on anything unreleased or incomplete.
    Thanks for watching,
    See you all in next weeks video.

    This works well on my Einstein via gotek. The keyboard controls are fine and responsive on real hardware. Thank you very much for this!
