I guess its a homebrew game! but as its not a mainstream computer, I have decided to put it here as a demo of graphics.
Crasher.
======
I had been thumbing through some old copies of ZX computing on line. In issue 5 December 1982 a type in game by Dilwyn Jones called Crasher was published.Apparently it was quite playable but very quick to type in.
The Game aim was to steer your ship into the characters flowing up the screen.The Characters seem to have different values so you have to try to maximise your score each time. The game is very short, its only 13 lines in BASIC.
this is my version

Flight Simulator.

Late last year I found a Youtube demo made on the ZX81 by 'gasman' that various clever demos put together as a montage

Quote from: "zapiy"Very Clever Carl, take you long?
I get the idea and its on my mind for a few days, I think the demo took about five hours just dipping in and out, the debugging takes the longest as I don't really translate a BASIC listing, I just observr the program and re create it.
