Gameplay & commentary from Crazy Kong (a Donkey Kong clone) playing on the Sinclair ZX81. Retro Gaming.
Just for those who are unfamiliar with this machine... a ZX81 is not a Spectrum. Sinclair made several computers, and the Spectrum was just one of them.
This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability.
It's more a case of me speaking my thoughts while playing the games, many for the first time, and most for the first time in a very long time... so it's all a little spontaneous and random.
Predictably, as I never practice before recording, I usually play very badly.
Given that I am playing many of these games for the first time, and everything I say is completely off the cuff, you probably shouldn't take what I say overly seriously. The opinions that I express are my feelings at the time, but it's entirely possible that they would be different if I were to take the time to get to grips with the game.
However, given that these videos are intended to show that "first time experience", I believe they have some validity or merit.

Whoosh! Who would have believed this? Manic Miner for the good old ZX81? And it's great too! Eleven screens of hi-res graphics! One of the best games ever for this lovable little computer! The very rare Hi Res ZX81 version of Manic Miner was possible because the ZX81 display was generated primarily by software in the ZX81 ROM, it was possible to override the interrupt service routine and generate the display oneself. Several "hi-res" (meaning, 256×192, rather than 64×48) games exist on this computer, but came out too late to save it from its big brother, the ZX Spectrum.
Considering the limitations of the machine, this game is a minor miracle!
As with the ZX80, the processor was a NEC Zilog Z80-compatible, running at a clock rate of 3.25 MHz, but the system ROM had grown to 8192 bytes in size, and the BASIC now supported floating point arithmetic. It was an adaptation of the ZX80 ROM by Steve Vickers on contract from Nine Tiles Ltd, the authors of Sinclair BASIC. The new ROM also worked in the ZX80 and Sinclair offered it as an upgrade for the older ZX80 for a while.
The base system as supplied had 1 KB (KB) of RAM. This RAM was used to hold the computer's system variables, the screen image, and any programs and data. The screen was text only, 32 characters wide by 24 high. Blocky graphics with a resolution of 64 by 48 pixels were possible by the use of the PLOT command, which selected among a set of 16 graphics characters. The ZX81 uses a resizeable display-file (screen buffer) meaning that it can be expanded or shrunk depending on the amount of installed memory and the amount of free space at the moment.
The ZX81 was originally sold via mail order in kit form requiring soldering (priced at £49.95) or assembled (£69.95 or US$100 in the US). A later deal with high street retail W.H.Smith saw the ZX81 and all accessories being sold on the high street (ZX81 was £69.99, ZX 16K RAM pack £49.99, ZX Printer £49.99)
This game plays extremely well and is available to download from my website, http://www.mjscomputers.net/arcade2.html

The ZX81 was a home computer produced by Sinclair Research and manufactured in Scotland by Timex Corporation. It was launched in the United Kingdom in March 1981 as the successor to Sinclair's ZX80 and was designed to be a low-cost introduction to home computing for the general public. It was hugely successful and more than 1.5 million units were sold before it was eventually discontinued. The ZX81 found commercial success in many other countries, notably the United States, where Timex manufactured and distributed it under licence. Timex later produced its own versions of the ZX81 for the US market – the Timex Sinclair 1000 and Timex Sinclair 1500. Unauthorised clones of the ZX81 were produced in a number of countries.
The ZX81 was designed to be small, simple, and above all cheap, using as few components as possible to keep the cost down. Video output was to a television set rather than a dedicated monitor. Programs and data were loaded and saved onto audio tape cassettes. It had only four silicon chips on board and a mere 1 kB of memory. The machine had no moving parts – not even a power switch – and used a touch-sensitive membrane keyboard for manual input. The ZX81's limitations prompted the emergence of a flourishing market in third-party peripherals to improve its capabilities. Such limitations, however, achieved Sinclair's objective of keeping the cost of the machine as low as possible. Its distinctive design won awards in the UK and abroad.[examples needed]

ZX81 MANIC MINER HIRES GRAPHICS ZX80
Whoosh! Who would have believed this? Manic Miner for the good old ZX81? And it's great too! Eleven screens of hi-res graphics! One of the best games ever for this lovable little computer! The very rare Hi Res ZX81 version of Manic Miner was possible because the ZX81 display was generated primarily by software in the ZX81 ROM, it was possible to override the interrupt service routine and generate the display oneself. Several "hi-res" (meaning, 256×192, rather than 64×48) games exist on this computer, but came out too late to save it from its big brother, the ZX Spectrum. Considering the limitations of the machine, this game is a minor miracle! As with the ZX80, the processor was a NEC Zilog Z80-compatible, running at a clock rate of 3.25 MHz, but the system ROM had grown to 8192 byte... -

Gameplay & commentary from Crazy Kong (a Donkey Kong clone) playing on the Sinclair ZX81. Retro Gaming.
Just for those who are unfamiliar with this machine... a ZX81 is not a Spectrum. Sinclair made several computers, and the Spectrum was just one of them.
This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability.
It's more a case of me speaking my thoughts while playing the games, many for the first time, and most for the first time in a very long time... so it's all a little spontaneous and random.
Predictably, as I never practice before recording, I usually play very badly.
Given that I am playing many of these games for the first time, and everything I say is completely off the cuff, you probably shouldn't take what I say overly seriously. The opinions that I express are my feelings at the time, but it's entirely possible that they would be different if I were to take the time to get to grips with the game.
However, given that these videos are intended to show that "first time experience", I believe they have some validity or merit.

Whoosh! Who would have believed this? Manic Miner for the good old ZX81? And it's great too! Eleven screens of hi-res graphics! One of the best games ever for this lovable little computer! The very rare Hi Res ZX81 version of Manic Miner was possible because the ZX81 display was generated primarily by software in the ZX81 ROM, it was possible to override the interrupt service routine and generate the display oneself. Several "hi-res" (meaning, 256×192, rather than 64×48) games exist on this computer, but came out too late to save it from its big brother, the ZX Spectrum.
Considering the limitations of the machine, this game is a minor miracle!
As with the ZX80, the processor was a NEC Zilog Z80-compatible, running at a clock rate of 3.25 MHz, but the system ROM had grown to 8192 bytes in size, and the BASIC now supported floating point arithmetic. It was an adaptation of the ZX80 ROM by Steve Vickers on contract from Nine Tiles Ltd, the authors of Sinclair BASIC. The new ROM also worked in the ZX80 and Sinclair offered it as an upgrade for the older ZX80 for a while.
The base system as supplied had 1 KB (KB) of RAM. This RAM was used to hold the computer's system variables, the screen image, and any programs and data. The screen was text only, 32 characters wide by 24 high. Blocky graphics with a resolution of 64 by 48 pixels were possible by the use of the PLOT command, which selected among a set of 16 graphics characters. The ZX81 uses a resizeable display-file (screen buffer) meaning that it can be expanded or shrunk depending on the amount of installed memory and the amount of free space at the moment.
The ZX81 was originally sold via mail order in kit form requiring soldering (priced at £49.95) or assembled (£69.95 or US$100 in the US). A later deal with high street retail W.H.Smith saw the ZX81 and all accessories being sold on the high street (ZX81 was £69.99, ZX 16K RAM pack £49.99, ZX Printer £49.99)
This game plays extremely well and is available to download from my website, http://www.mjscomputers.net/arcade2.html

Choice Of The Chosen
[Chorus]
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
[Verse 1]
When the people of the power meet the power of the
people,
Then it changes every hour of the day,
All you need is one man with his head in the sand,
To rise up and say,
It's the regime of a beauty queen,
You gotta come clean cause you're a liar,
But if you stand up and fight for the things that are
right,
Then you'll find one day you start a fire,
And when that flame burns,
The people start to learn,
It's all you need to take you higher,
Higher than the trees and the birds and the bees,
It's the flame that we call desire, yeah
[Chorus]
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
[Verse 2]
It's the man at the docks working off the clock,
Who's a time bomb ready to explode,
Can we find a way to make it through the day,
Please tell me cause I don't know,
And then one day he goes boom,
His mind begins to break,
The weight upon his shoulders is too much for him to
take,
Sick of living his life by the edge of a knife,
Yeah he's gone
Said he's gone,
Never to return,
'Cause you know his flame will never ever burn again,
again
Again, again
Again, again
Again, yeah yeah
[Chorus]
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
[Verse 3]
I was on my way just the other day,
When a man said I've got a problem,
I have everything that money can bring,
But I can't stop the wind from blowing,
I could sympathize with the pain in his eyes,
When I told him he'd fade to nothing,
You can try to change,
When you pass the blame,
But you know it's the choice of the chosen, yeah
[Chorus]
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Choice of the chosen, yeah
Said it's the choice of the chosen, yeah
