Hi there,
I'm a video game historian and I run the Pong-Story web wite (www.pong-story.com) about the first video games.
Some of you may remember those 1975-1979 years when you would find in Elektor (or other magazines) some advertisements for early game systems, or an article to build a simple Tennis / Pong game, either with TTL/CMOS circuits, or just a special chip like the AY-3-8500.
I would like to find three things:
1) Early advertisements for commercial games published in Elektor (or other electronics magazines) in the 1970s
2) Homemade games from articles published in the 70s. Working or not.
3) Original or scans of 1970s issues containing construction articles. I don't know every issue, but at least I'd like to find the following:
- #7 (Nov 1975): contains a simple Tennis game
- #11 (Mar 1976): add-ons for Tennis game
- #13 (May 1976): more add-ons for Tennis game
If you know any other issue with early video game construction articles, please let me know. You will find my email address on my Pong-Story site.
Cheers,
David Winter

Stu, I think you're referring to the "Elektor TV Games Computer". I am the programmer of the one and only emulator of this machine (WinArcadia). I'd be interested to know how good the compatibility is.
I wonder if you have any of the 3rd-party software that was released for it by companies such as Hocosoft? or scans of the "TV Games Computer extended" article or errata?
