ZX81 mode Hires

[Carl]

Requirements:
32Kbyte (48K recommended) Hires-compatible RAM Expansion
The cassette file fits into 16Kbyte, but after decompression it will occupy around 24Kbytes, and additionally requires 6Kbyte bitmap memory. On a 48Kbyte computer it'll also do some video caching for smoother graphics.
Joystick (wired to A12 line in keyboard matrix)
The game can be also played via Cursor or Q,A,O,P,Space keyboard keys, but a joystick will greatly help to control the game.

Starfight has been originally created by Herve Couppe for the Amstrad CPC, the game was published as type-in listing in french magazine Hebdogiciel (No 110, 22 nov 1985) and also in Hebdogiciel Hors Serie Amstrad (No 1).

Despite (and because) of it's simpliness Starfight is a really charming game, always inviting the player to hunt for a new high score.

Okay, in 1999 I've disassembled the old CPC version, re-assembled a new CPC version, and finally made a completely playable gameboy version within only 6 days alltogether.

So then, about two years later, in 2001, ported the game to ZX81 also. (That is a 20 years old homecomputer, using a Z80 CPU, running at effectively 0.8MHz.)
