Any evidence that this actually existed? Every version of the history I've read or watched states plainly that the version Stein saw was the first DOS/IBM-PC-compatible version that Alexi and company at the Academy of Science programmed. It also claims a C-64 version, but the only known C-64 version is the one MirrorSoft created after Stein sub-licensed it to them. Oknazevad (talk) 19:42, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

I have been wondering the same thing. Do you have sources on it being the DOS version they were playing? I don't recall any but it would be great to just sweep this one under the rug as a very old and inaccurate rumor. --simonlc (talk) 20:56, 11 May 2021 (UTC)
No specific source, just the general understanding that at the time Stein saw the game in Hungary the only versions that existed at all were the original Elektronika 60 and the first DOS versions, and no one was still using the E-60 outside the USSR by that point in time. Frankly, without any source to provide evidence for the existence of this supposed version, it should just be deleted, as it's the burden of the one making the claim to provide the evidence, not the one disputing it to prove the negative.
