New ZX81 Games

Post by RWAP »

We were considering creating this as a forum which would contain news of the latest releases for the ZX80 and ZX81 - so that it would be easier for people to find new software, rather than having to search through every thread in this topic, some threads go for several pages to discuss the development of a game, with the link to the actual game or source code hidden in the middle of the thread.

If authors do not want to advertise their software in this thread, then that is perfectly acceptable - we don't intend doing anything with the thread, it is just an idea to help people coming back to the ZX81 after 30 years or so, or new users looking for information on the latest releases

If you want to details your software in the thread, please use the format:

Name of Software:
Author:
Release Date:
Requirements (eg. 1K, 16K, AY Card, Hi-Res Scheme):
Description:
Screenshots:
Download link (if available for download):
Commercial / Public Domain / Freeware / Other - please specify?
