I was on a vintage computer exhibition in Berlin a few weeks ago. These fairs are awesome, as the people there are really eager to share their stories. I talked to a member of the still active Atari Bit Byter User Club (http://www.abbuc.de/ http://www.abbuc.de/). He told me that he was one of the few Atari enthusiasts in East Berlin, and it was always quite an adventure to get your hands on hardware, software and magazines. Improvisation was the key, as in many situations in former East Germany. Also, there is an East German gaming machine called Poly Play (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly_Play https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poly_Play). You can actually play on one of these in the Computer Games Museum in Berlin. But of all East Germans that I asked, nobody had ever heard about this before, so probably was something produced in very low quantities.
