Any plans for the ZX81's 30th "birthday"?
According to Wikipedia the ZX81 will be 30 years old on the 5th of March.
I'll certainly play a few ZX81 games on that day. :)

Yo RWAP, what happened to Your site???
"This site has been suspended".
Btw, any details of the "ZXpander"?
Greetz.
*hint - hint*
Hmmm...I'll be 34 on the same day. Maybe "The Wicker Woman" will be debugged by then...
Site back up and running now - the webhost took all my sites down without warning, as one of the email accounts had been hacked and used for spam - I have lodged a complaint as they should have at least tried to contact me, rather than just taking everything off line!
We are working on the final details of what will be on the ZXPander - keep your eye on the ZX80/ZX81 forums - http://www.rwapservices.co.uk/ZX80_ZX81/forums/ for news...

We *may* be.
I could get VIRUS out by then, but unfortunately, I'm unable to test it until I can get hold of a bloody 16K RAM pack!! It'll probably be OK.....!
Here's to the next 30 years!
I tried to finish off one of my games but failed miserably. Hopefully it'll be done before the next anniversary though.
NICE..I'll be wanting one of those....will you be taking preorders?

I had a few games of 3D Monster Maze on Saturday. Amazed that the "Footsteps approaching" and "Rex has seen you" prompts still give me the *****s to this day! :smile:
Not taking pre-orders, but email me to be added to the waiting list - they should be available in the next 3-4 weeks !!
The initial draft of the manual is now on my website at:

I once toyed with the idea of doing a Specy port of 3DMM, with sound and "improved" graphics, but I honestly doubt the ZX81 version could be bettered. Even the "mists of time" bit where the maze generation takes 30 seconds to complete instead of being near instantaneous (which is entirely possible, as somebody once patched it to do...) adds to the overall atmosphere. Best ZX81 game of all time, that. :)

It is designed to fit in a Memopak case.
