Converted from other platforms

As the list above shows, there were only around 120 games originally produced for the Memotech computer and that is where it would have ended, if it were not for Claus Baekkel (www.mtxworld.dk). Claus converted John Dondzila's Space Invasion from ColecoVision to MTX in 2001 before embarking on a conversion spree in 2012/2013. There are a few more games in the pipeline too - well done Claus!

These games were originally developed for the much more popular MSX type machines; with the advantage of more potential sales and the financial strength of larger companies than Memotech behind them, these games tend to be much higher quality than the Memotech specific titles.
