Early Sinclair ZX81 Software Adverts

posted by TecSoft


Way before full colour ads were the norm and just before the emergence of it’s colourful sibling; the ZX Spectrum, ZX81 software adverts in computer magazines were often a very crude affair. Still very much in the time of the ‘bedroom coder’ much of the software in this early period was still produced at home using rudimentary tape to tape copying machines and photocopied inlays and labels.

Take a look.

Brand New Game: Flappy Bird ZX

posted by TecSoft


The game by Rafał Miazga. Music by Bear/MHCG.

Press space to go up faster and faster, release space to fall down, that's all. There is also a lot of inertia so you'll need some practice.

If you know the original Flappy Bird (who doesn't) you'll see that the game mechanics are a bit different from the original.

Download the game.
