Holy shit, blast from the past! My dad had got one of this and when I was born my family had already moved back to India. I booted this up when I was about 10 years old and I was so mesmerized. It was impossible to afford any game consoles for my family so this took a lot of my time. I was so impressed with how everything fit together, the robot was cute… I loved it.
My dad also had got a Tatung Einstein which never worked. Last time I went back to India (I moved to the US for higher ed) I opened it up and was excited to see that they are a bunch of chips that they taught me in Comp 101 (they were basic TTL flip flops). I brought it back with me.
I still have it, and one day I hope to have enough time and space to open it up and translate it into an FPGA as a way to brush up on my basic digital signal knowledge.
