"Rechtschreibung" is a spell checker. Bum isn't a word so it gave you Bombe as its guess for what you meant. When you got a sum wrong and said it spoke more than you expected, it said "Probiert nochmal" (Try again). "Melodie Wählen" is choose melody. Eingabe is input, and the error it was giving you was "Insufficient input" or something. No idea what the hell it was on about. I also notice Snake Roy is made by a company called "Sachen", which just mean "Things". What a great name for a company.

Sachen being a word in German is just a coincidence. They were a Taiwanese company mainly focused on developing unlicensed NES games; their Chinese name is 聖謙, which is more or less "Sachen" (ch ~= tsch) in Taiwanese Hokkien.

Okay I haven't seen it in the comments before, so as a Person who speaks german (I'm swiss btw^^), I'll translate the words you couldn't pick up yourself: 1. Rechtschreibung: spell check. You can put in one german word and it checks if you spelled it correctly. When you typed in an english word it says "Falsch Buchstabiert" which means "spelled incorrectly". Vorschlag means suggestion, so it recommends you the correct german word. So when you typed in the correct word it says " Richtig buchstabiert", which means "spelled correctly". 2. Bilder Wörterbuch: Dictionary with pictures. I guess you can put in certain words and it shows you a picture of this word....? You read the wrong word there it said "eingabe drücken" which is a different word than "drucken" and means something else because of the umlaut. It means "push enter".

This reminds me of the "workboy"; a company called Fabtek had planned a keyboard accessory for the original gameboy, with an accompanying cartridge and stand. The cartridge would give the gameboy various PDA like features, including currency conversion, basic text storage, basic accounting software, and even a dialer which would autodial contacts by holding a phone's mouthpiece to the speaker.

We may laugh at it when compared to modern tech, but for what it is and it's age, this actually seems pretty cool. I would have been pretty excited to have one as a kid.

It's ironic, but I actually thoroughly enjoyed that! It definitely has VTech connotations, but two things I did spot. First off, it has two channel polyphonic music in the game! It's a shame that the keyboard doesn't allow two tones to be played though. The other thing is that the BASIC programming editor, may only understand the German equivalent of the language commands, I.e RUN would probably be LAUF?

Don't forget Stuart, the Mega Duck was originally from Hong Kong by Welback Holdings (as you said four years prior to making this video), but Hartung did gain the license to create that super computer variant for whatever reason.

'Who cares - it's in now', as the actress said to the Bishop.

The music in King Roy for the opening sequences is a series of extracts from Romanian Folk Dances by Bela Bartók and the game end/start from Tschaikovsky's Nutcracker, a surprisingly sophisticated series of choices - given the Eastern European repertoire plus that this was made by a Berlin manufacturer I would hazard a guess that this has some kind of East German heritage before a newer incarnation as the MegaDuck. This may explain the clunky oddness, was this a product of a successor to VEB Robotron?
