Dude, this looks pretty amazing.
I was wondering -
- what are possibilities of money transfer to You? (EU)
- when one takes the cassette, does he automatically gets also the *.P file too?

Well, if Revival uses PayPal, then I can ask my friend to do me a favour.
Then I would not trouble You.

And this is good because converting tapes into P by myself might be hard. Although slightly possible.If you buy the tape version, you will of course get the digital download for free.

Re: [NEW ZX81 GAME RELEASE] Down!
Maybe it would be a good idea for an option to buy the online program only.
Why pay EUR 3.00 shipment for a more or less useless cassette tape.
Maybe could give a discount for the online version as he doesn't have to pay for empty cassettes.
Just my thoughts.
I don't have any cassette player for the last ten years.
And maybe it would be a good idea to optionally download the game as a WAV file for the real Zeddy feeling.

Re: [NEW ZX81 GAME RELEASE] Down!
I just read the post from Yerz and didn't check on the website.
I am not the hardcore gamer.
I like more to play with hardware and my joystick usually has about 320°C.

I just wanted to help - and it came out, as usual.

Just letting you guys know that Down! for the Sinclaur ZX81 got reviewed in the January 2013 issue of Retro Gamer Magazine ( http://www.retrogamer.net/ ).
I am proud to say that the game scored a whopping 82% , just a wee-bit short of gaining this month's Retro Sizzler award.
For those that unaware about this magazine. RetroGamer magazine is a print-magazine by Imagine Publishing with a very large circulation of nearly 100.000 readers. In a time where print-publications are struggling, this magazine has a growing subscriber-base and won many awards for their magazine Check out their website for more info and subscriptions. The magazine is also digitally available on iTunes and such.
PS> For those interested, in the same issue there is also an article+interview about the making of Mage: The Enchanted Crystals. A game i released a little while ago on the Videopac / Odyssey2.
