Re: Vertical Scroller by mistake

mrtinb I can reproduce the word SHOW. This is just showing the contents of the 620 memory locations allocated to SHOW. The characters displayed arent exactly the same but that may be because were are using different hardware or emulators. Im not sure what you are trying to achieve with the second (s...

Re: End of ZX81 production.

Im sure the last ZX81 I got had either the ULA or Z80 with an 84 date code. All ICs were soldered directly to the PCB.

Yes, IF1bis and Harlequin run fine together. How many LEDS on IF1 are lit when you enter RUN?

Thanks for the list... Im sure I have the first one - great game!.
