it should work, not worried now, have a ZX81 on the way courtesy of ebay.
Wanted proper computer rather than emulator anyway.

Why not just use a standard Speccy emulator... it should run ZX81 titles?

I see you have yet top experience the joys that could be had from playing the classic text adventure: The Hobbit.

You are in a large room, there are two trolls blocking the exits in the east and south. What do you want to do?

Talk to troll.

I do not know the word ‘troll’

Exit exit exit

I do not know the word ‘exit’

Go North.

You try to go north but one of the trolls eats you. You are dead.

Would you like to play again? Y/N
