3D Monster Maze on a REAL Sinclair ZX81 retro computer
 |
||
Gameplay from 3D Monster Maze running on a real Sinclair ZX81 ***not an emulator***, retro computer. 27 year old hardware running 27 year old, tape loaded, software. The game is being displayed on a Sega Game Gear with TV tuner, as my HD LCD TV won't tune into the ZX81 video signal.

Groovy baby yeah! What CPU that machine has?

Ah, yes, I should've checked the neame really, before recording that. He did an interview in Retro Gamer some time over the past year or so. It was very enlightening.

One other thing - the game was originally published by "J.K. Greye Software", but was developed by a man named Malcolm Evans. He later founded his own company named "New Generation Software" which he used to publish his later games, including 3D defender. There's a picture of him on Wikipedia in the article for 3D monster maze.

The coding to get that game running on that machine is astounding.
Imagine if that guy wrote for machines today!

I think you should copy it so you can play the game without risking the tape getting stuck in the drive or something (which has happened to me before) and make several copies of it.

True enough, that would indeed work, and is a good suggestion.
As it is, I have a .tap file which I can play as an audio file from my laptop, and use that as the sound source to load the game from.
For the purpose of the video though, I chose to use the original tape, as my vids are all about using authentic and original hardware and software.
