About
Millipede & Pakman is a combination disk for the Tatung Einstein from Kuma Software, pairing two separate arcade-style games on one disk.
The inlay, catalogue number 17-0013-8, is marked “For use with Einstein Colour Microcomputer” and carries an “Einsoft Approved” badge. It describes the two games:
PAKMAN – Using superb graphics and sound effects PAKMAN is fast and furious. You are the hungry PAKMAN devouring the dots around a crazy maze pursued by marauding monsters. If you eat an energizer the monsters become weak and slow – but only for a short while so watch out! © Verlaan 1983
MILLIPEDE – You are trapped in a forest pursued by a blind ferocious MILLIPEDE. Chop down the trees to slow it down. When you shoot the MILLIPEDE it will split into segments until you are being chased by multi-millipedes. Shoot it quickly or it will multiply even more! © H. Chapman 1983
Running It
The inlay’s loading instructions: boot the disc, type DIR, then type the name of a file ending .COM and press ENTER. So PAKMAN for Pakman and MILIPEDE (spelled that way on the disc) for Millipede.

About this Dump
Dumped from an original Kuma disc in its case with the fold-out inlay, using a Greaseweazle V4 and an original 3-inch drive on 3 October 2026. Both sides hold the same data, sector for sector, so the zip names them SIDE1 and SIDE2 in the order they were read. All 400 sectors of each side read with good CRCs on the first pass. The zip holds both sides as raw flux (.scp), MAME images (.mfi) and sector images (.dsk), with nothing cleaned up.
