    As an owner of a ZX81 at the time it's difficult to explain what it was 3d Monster Maze at the time, first it was rare/unusual to have a computer at home, 2nd what they did with the game as simple as it looks today , graphics, gameplay etc .. was incredible.

      In that era, I had first seen a 2D 'computer maze' game on teletype (i.e. paper) terminals of the student friends I knew, who were learning mainframe things at home in a period (70's/80's) before computing got personal.

      We kids weren't allowed to play that game much (better, Chess), since it emitted reams and reams of updates, but there was always about a 60cm pile of green teletype paper around, for re-using with a different colour ink ribbon ..

      Seeing it on a ZX81 in this manner is just glorious!

      And now, watching my kids playing Counter Strike in the background while I hack on some playDate thing or two .. what a change in resolution.
