More games from Your Computer magazine

Here are two more games I've typed up for the 16K ZX81 from
Your Computer magazine:
Space Invaders is written in machine code and quite good but seems near impossible to destroy a wave of aliens.
Dangerman is a platform game written in BASIC and so a bit sluggish to play.
I've submitted both to the
Type Fantastic website.

Xavsnap posted Dangerman last year
viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3896&p=40178&hilit ... man#p40178
UDG version can be found here.

Works fairly fast with BigBang ROM.
I think he also posted just about everything else program-wise from Your Computer magazine (including SWAP and MERGE you posted in SOFTWARE), though omissions are possible.

Cool, that saves me a job! I was going by the items not present at the Type Fantastic site.

No worries Paul just wanted to save you the job of typing them up as I know how monotonous it can be!

Well at least
Tunnel and
Cassette Files weren't already in that list, so not a complete waste of time!
Looking through the list, am I correct in saying part 3 of
Chess in 1K is missing (from Feb 83)?
And that the following, although typed up, aren't working?
- ZXMinbug
- ZXtra-wide text
- ZXEditor
