Tatung Einstein Elite Information

One of the systems that Elite was converted to in 1985 was the Tatung Einstein home computer, this conversion being carried out by Merlin Software. As can be seen in the image of the front of the box above, no dedicated boxes were produced for this version, a situation it shared with the PC and MSX versions. Instead, small stickers were strategically placed on the boxes to hide the original artwork, although it can be seen that underneath the white sticker is the wording "Spectrum 48K"
In addition, the game manual and keyboard reference card are also the Spectrum versions, with inserts and stickers detailing the differences

The two images above are from the MSX version of Elite, not the Einstein. This is because the sole Tatung Einstein emulator currently available (details below) does not run the Einstein version of Elite. Hence no details of the game can be gleaned, although as the MSX - like the Einstein - was based on the Z80 processor, this may give an idea of how the game would have looked.
