It might pay to remind thickies like me that playing area only appears when the "enable M1not circuit " box is ticked in Eighty One, otherwise just a blank screen.

EDIT.

I now have just a frozen playing area!

Excellent as this may be I suspect that a thread entitled " New ZX81 games " is hardly the place for a Spectrum release, though I do understand your eagerness for a wide audience.
