Fungaloids ZX81

[jammytgee]

amazing considering it has 1k

my current laptop has 2048 and compared to a spectrum booting up and satrting the programming, thats shit!

Such bad use of ram these days.

[broening]

@jammytgee I'm pretty sure this game needs a 16k ram pack.

I actually had a 64k memotech expansion on my zx81, not that any software used that much :-)

@martybhoy72 Hi, tune in a NES or C64, plug zx81 in, change sound standard to DK Or BG, colour standard to PAL and use the finetuner to tune it in. Works on my flatscreen.

lol i read "splooge" instead of "splodge".

One of the best games EVER. Michael Orwin Tape 4, worth £4.95 for Fungaloids alone.

Fungaloids for PC is available here: martinruffe.co.uk - follow the picture of the zx81

Bought a zx81 on ebay, but can't tune any of my tvs to receive a stable picture. Anyone got a solution?

[amigaknight]

ASCII!!! :D

I used to have this game on tape - but never played it! That's because I never got the money (I was barely more than a toddler) to get me a ZX81. But I bought "Fungaloids" because I thought it would be an awesome game, with such name. I see now that I was right :o)

Whot no sound ;-)

Quem programava nessa epoca REALMENTE sabia programar. Com poucos kb de memoria faziam um jogo inteiro. Hoje os programadores só vão juntando modulos prontos e fazem jogos que ocupam dezenas de gigas de memória.

Blimey, you actually got something to load!

[StanPomeray]

"Michael Orwin's ZX 81 Tapes" or something like that, is where this came from. They were very good too. You got about 10 games for about £5!

[reverendcutterx]

Yep, this was 'Cassette 4', got it for Christmas!

Great game, this one.

@StanPomeray Michael Orwin Tape 4,

[NibblesBigNuts]

Hours and hours of fun playing these games.

[starsky2112]

[starsky2112]

ohh gawd do i remember those hours typing it all for ages to get a small game to work, Then hitting Run only to get a goddam syntax error, arghhhh

[Simmo188]

There was a type in game very similar to this called City bomber in one of the ZX81 books,

I remember typing it in playing it for hours with repetitive strain injury and my mate brought this one round on a pirate tape..gah

[StripyKingTV]

Who would have thought the humble ZX81 could produce a game like this...
