C.S.S.C.G.C. 2025 comes crawling
Dear Colleagues, here is Kempston, the human recently condemned to host the best and most prestigious competition of horror turned software for our smoking Sinclair computers. While the website is not yet available, your contributions will be welcomed by the shredding machine at the following email address: crap2025 (that weird snail) proton dot me
The executioner will be grateful for detailed instructions on how to play and run the program in emulator, listings, images, etc.
You can send me emails in English, German or Spanish.
Set the crap machine in motion !
Moderators note:
Notice for forum members: this topic is about the Comp.Sys.Sinclair Crap Games Competition and the games that have been entered.
As the competition is open to games made for any of the Sinclair computers or compatible or clone or near clone machines (including the ZX80, ZX81, TS1000, TS1500, ZX Spectrum (all models), TS2068, TC2048, TC2068, QL, Z88, Next), a particular entry may be for computer not normally found in this section. I think it’s better if all the discussion is kept in a single topic here rather than split up between different topics in the different sections.
If you don’t think there are enough ZX80 or ZX81 entries, get busy programming...
Mark

Standby alert 
There are four lights!
Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb

I have fifty chances to better myself this year
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

OK, so this year I was going to lose weight ... but being it is the 7th of January, I will instead review the 2025 entries for the ZX81. None of that nice Spectrum stuff for me

Tunnel by XavSnap
Kudos to XavSnap for getting the first entry: Tunnel. Points for the descriptive title. More points for needing instructions (see Le Premier Submission)
Trying it ... impressive looking for a black-and-white display. What is going on? Looks promising so far, intriguing but baffling ...
