zx81 MIAs

Arkannoyed

I don't really know if on WOS we're involved, or have any dealings with zx81 MIAs?

If so, I've recently come across someone running a PC related servicing business that states on their website that they started out by writing zx81 games including;

Cheops Tomb
Shelobs Lair
The Monopolist. (possibly listed as The Financier)

After further investigation it seems they were published under the name Algor Software, then based in Northampton.

The chaps name is David Warner (not the Aussie Cricketer!)

Looks like all their material is MIA, is it worth contacting him? (PCfix, Wolverton, Milton Keynes)

We are looking to add ZX81 files to the WoS archive.

Ok, thought I couldn't find any here, that'll be the reason why!

I have emailed Simon (zx81 stuff) just pointing him in that direction, as I'm not familiar enough with the whole pre speccy thing.

I love the title 'Shelob's lair'. Those were the days when plagiarism was ignored, in fact it was encouraged ;)
