A seasonal movie

Post by nollkolltroll »

The snowman was a favourite when I was much younger, but my memory clocked it at far less than its 25 minutes. I still enjoy the story and style of the movie, even when played on the ZX81 :D

So here is a ZX81 video player and file to watch the film in all its monochrome glory. As usual, UDG128 and ZXpand required.

can't find the download for UDG128
In Heck, there are two options for perpetual torment:

Eat the Puckerberry and suffer for eternity:
drink nothing but a cocktail of The Last Dab and Mexican Cake blended and served with
habanero slices

You need both ZXpand and a UDG128 device like Andy's UDG4ZXpand.

I just tested it in EO successfully, and here are the settings:
- make sure that both files are in the virtual SD-card folder, snowman.p and snowman.rvc
- 32k RAM
- Chr$ Generator: CHR$16
- ZXpand+ checked

The reason for the repeated text-message is because the player does not find the rvc-file.
