I thought to open a topic for few very simple text based games.
There are already tons of them for the ZX81 (many of them are written in BASIC but good) but the ZX80 owners, considering the lower number of available software titles, could be interested.
I'm posting both the ZX80 and the ZX81 version, since it comes at almost no extra cost.

Luna (Moon Landing)
Yet another (simple but addictive) LEM cockpit simulation.
Lots of kids played games like this one on a ZX81 for hours back in the Eighties.. I think my sons don't believe it

Tic Tac Toe (AKA Tris)
This one couldn't miss..
It is the only game in this list I wrote myself.
Shame on me, presented it in the minigame compo in 2003 and classified second to last !
Well there are many good reasons for this .. not telling, but don't expect a killer app !

Re: Minimalistic text games
Thanks for that many games.
I will give them a try at the weekend on original ZX80 hardware.

The Fast and The Furious
Yet another race betting style game.
No much to say but the fact that simple animation should run flicker free on the ZX80.
I was forgetting the credits ! The original program was written in Turbo C for the PC computers by Simone Reggiani as a homework.
