@stilkov , that was a bargain! The official price was 398,- DM, got mine "second hand" for 300 DM. But already included the 16 KB RAM extension. Started game programming in assembler...

My father built a replica with extra joystick ports into a handmade wooden housing. Unfortunately the available chips broke down pretty frequently.
