Hi from Brisbane.
Hi from Brisbane.
HI everyone, it's great to see a ZX community still exists when I thought these things went the way of the DoDo. I learned to program on a ZX81, originally with just 1k which taught me how to write code very efficiently. I had a huge library of games of which my fave was Mazogs. I went to school in Melbourne and remember a Sinclair computer specialist store nearby in South Yarra what would stock the latest expensive games. My friends and I would chip in a few bucks each to buy them and make copies for each other. The ZX81 was retired when I moved to a C64. Anyway I've just bought a working ZX81 and look forward to seeing what I can do with it now.

Hi! You might like playing the Zeddy version of a very famous local game about crossing roads...

Re: Hi from Brisbane.
There's quite few of us still working on ZX81 games so you'll find there's quite a lot you can do with them now.
I'm from New Zealand myself, so same global area.

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb
Looking forward to summer later in the year.
