The Memotech MTX Series

     Memotech Software - "Type ins"      

 

This page contains a number of "type-in" programs from magazine articles and books.

If you have any that you like to contribute, I'd be happy to host them here.

Keith Robinson from the MTX500 Facebook Group has scanned and OCR'ed the listings from the Memotech Games Book which should make it easier to get them programmed, particularly if you use MEMU and its Auto-Type function. If you do get any of the programs running, please send me a copy of the .mtx file and I will post it here. You can download the source file here.

Nassim Bakir has collected a large number of MTX games in .wav format, including a number of these type-ins. Nassim has kindly made many of these files available here (denoted by "NB" in the table). I have added them to the table below as both uncompressed .wav files and after compression to .zip format with 7-Zip
