Introduction

This is (as far as I can tell) the ONLY ZX80 software page on the WEB. I have several files from the ZX80 and will transfer them as soon as I get time. Some will be "type them in yourself" and some will be in a format which can be loaded via a utility.

SPACE INVADERS

Due to the problem of screen flicker on the ZX80, this must be about the only (as far as I know) fully animated game for the ZX80. It keeps the display stable(ish) by regularly calling the display routine, in effect, emulating the NMI of the ZX81. I have no idea where the game originally came from, so do not know who owns the copyright. I have searched many old magazines but I can't find where it came from. If you know, please contact me at my eMail address at the end of this page, and I will add the acknowledgement.

The listing shown below I had on a cassette tape and loaded it into my home-made ZX80. This is dumped straight from the screen of this ZX80, so I know there are no transcription errors.
Type in the following (save regularly!):

Type RUN to start the game.

Here is an example screenshot from the game:
