Sinclair ZX80 / ZX81 / Z88 Forums

What text adventures are available, either freeware or shareware, for the ZX-81? I've found only 2 thus far (B-Venture and Permit). And more importantly, where can I download them from?

Sadly I have small knowledge about this subject-matter but I can answer Your last question -
this is huge base of ZX81 programs (including games) http://www.zx81.nl/dload/software/
Surely text-advetures are present there too.

There are loads of downloadable text adventures (as well as everything else) on this superb site! http://www.zx81stuff.org.uk

Thanks for the link.

Hi,
Well I'm new to the text adventures too.
But the port of ADV8K makes me curious about this game genre and I start doing some research
Searching on the WEB I found that on the Sinclair User Mag, on the Software Scene column, there are some reviews.
Now we can read the reviews, and go to download the P file as soon as we want

Don't forget the Artic Adventures:

The interesting thing about the ARTIC adventures, is if you look at them in a hex editor all the text is in ASCII not ZX81 character set. They must have been ported from another system...

ship of doom, planet of death - ahh memories. Not that I remember much about them, apart from getting stuck and never completing them!
