If you’re equally nostalgic for early-80s BASIC home computer programming and late-90s mobile phone games, then the SpectrumAndRetro NEWS blog have found a new ZX Spectrum game that could scratch both of those itches for you.
Zzznake is a conversion of the popular Snake game for the ZX Spectrum, coded using BASIC for the Homeputerium 10Liner Contest 2024, in which entrants must code a game for any 8-bit computer using just 10 lines or fewer of BASIC.
We’re sure you’ll agree that Speccy coder azimov has done a grand job considering the limitations of the contest. You can download Zzznake for yourself from azimov’s itch.io page.
