Tatung Computer Forum

Hi all,

My physical Einstein collection needs to be sold as we are moving house and I will have no where to store my retro computers. A sad occurance, but our future looks exciting and brighter in the decision we are making

So ...

I have some boxed games that I need to shift. Wanted to offer them here first before putting them on eBay.

Elite - I believe this to be complete £50
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - I believe this is also complete £50
Scrabble and Cluedo £30 for both

I have pictures of the boxes and contents if anyone is interested?
Prices based on rarity and current availability of these items.


Message me on here for more details if you are interested.

Postage to be added on top, or collection if you are local to me.
Payment method will be either cash on collection, or paypal.

** My machine and all other equipment will be offered too soon **

Sorry to hear about having to sell stuff!

However that hasn’t stopped me messaging about Elite…

Elite provisionally taken by Lardo Boffin!

Can I have pics of hitch hikers please!

Sure @vanpeebles

Send me a a private message

So Mike, you'll not have any retro computers? That seems a shame for a chap who is as diligent as you regrading your stuff.

Yep, I know, but we are going to travel (round the heart of England first, then Europe) in our motorhome for as long as physically possible, so storage of so many retro bits is too costly for the size of storage needed (House items and retro stuff), something has to go.

There are emulators to fulfil my retro needs, and I still have the greaseweazle and a 3" drive for physical media transfer.

Will also still be keeping my hand in with the Einstein, as I will (hopefully) be mingling with lots of older motorhome folks from Shrewsbury and Telford (and further afield), so there is a good chance some of them either worked for Tatung back in the day or know someone who did, and may have software that I can buy.

In the current climate, we need a change of pace and lifestyle

Elite arrived today thanks Mike!

It looks nice next to my Apple II version.

Edit:


I have a slot ready for the 6502 only version of Beeb Elite. As soon as I can find a copy that costs less than £200…

Excellent. It's gone to a good home then!

Mike, best of luck with your adventures. I will miss your YouTube content, you have a great personal style and "voice for radio"!

I hope you have a great time, the right circumstances for these adventures only come about rarely, so go for it.
