# Thank you..
Do you have a speccy to run it on?

I have a 4 16k "Fun game" pack for the ZX81 somewhere. Wish I had something to play it on.

# If you solve any of the adventures
let me know. I've forgotten more about them than I ever knew (tried one the other month and got hopelessly stuck.. sad, I know)

# That's nicely done.
Although I would include a 'skip' button somewhere. It's good to watch it once, but every single time?

# Nice but inaccurate
The data for the screen was not arranged in simple lines (as you would have expected). Instead there were 3 blocks of 64 lines, with lines 1,9,17,25 ... 2,10,18,16 ... 8,16,24,32 being sequential.

The colour was in the correct order though.

(Needs a life.)

# Yeha,
it is inaccurate, but I was going from memory. It doesn't look "proper" but it's not bad for a first attempt :)
