did the origional zx81 have just 1k of memory - thats how i rember it - and if it did - this game was written in 1000 bytes - i was always amazed by that

thanks for uploading man - i had an atmos myself - great memorys - simple text adventures that let the imagination go insane

cheers

@adrianokeeffe Actually, I think you needed the 16k RAM Pack for this, so it would have had to fit in 16384 bytes, which is all you should need for anything really :)

You have to view it in the context of 1981. It ran on a computer with an 8 bit 3.5MHz CPU, 16k of RAM, with a graphics resolution of 64x48. You should be comparing it with the text only or primitive 2d games that were it's peers, not with your PS3 or whatever. Anything 3d was amazing at that time. This game has a valid claim to greatness.

I did it on my Mac, using the MacMess emulator, and Snapz Pro X for the capture.  Not sure that helps all that much if you run Windows :(

RUN HE IS BEHIND YOU - the best £3.95 I ever spent. Yes you did need the 16K RAM pack for this program.

Is this the first 3d videogame ever made?

[ThePatrol700]

nice this is Batterfield 2 Bad Company ; )

1k isn't exactly 1,000 Bytes, it's actually 1,024 Bytes

So if you buy a 1 GB SD card, you're only getting 900Mb, not the full 1,024.

Look,Crysis 2!

You needed a 16K RAMPACK to play this. .... but there was a 1K Chess Game for the ZX81 ... also a decent spreadsheet program.
