I'm playing it even now (at work, haaaaaaaahahahah) and it simply RULEZ.

I hope You will make more, in future.
Indeed - who needs colour, high-resolution graphics and sound when you have such a good game mechanic. Even good on a real ZX81 ;-)

Re: New Adventure Game - The Crystal Frog

I'm having trouble playing this on the real hardware (done the pokes etc...) - I have a Memotech 16K pack with a Sinclair RAM Pack in the back of that.

Any tips?

Edit: I should point out that both RAM Packs work fine by themselves as they can both handle the game Virus :-)

Regards,

Shaun.

Re: New game: "1k MazezaM"

What was it that someone famous once said... "640bytes ought to be enough for anyone", or was it "640KBytes..." I don't remember, but I've seen it somewhere (probably World of Spectrum or comp.sys.sinclair). Anyways, the game is really good and nice trick with the title screen to preserve RAM. Regar...

Re: New game - VIRUS - released.

[SNIP] Currently I'm still thinking of... A 3D game - something like Spare Harrier or Out Run. A scrolling game - such as Pac Man, Bounder, or a shoot'em up. A puzzle game - Stranded, W*H*B. I think you should work in that order too. Space Harrier (SH) sounds interesting, but I don't recall to many...

Re: New game - VIRUS - released.

Well, if I may add what's shouting not to be written (at least in my mind): Puzzle games. I see the ZX81 as something as powerful as a monochrome Spectrum, but for some reason 90% of the games in the past few years have been puzzles. I enjoy Dominetris a lot because I'm a Tetris fan, but I'm all fo...
