Adventure A, B, C for ZX80 with RAM pack

Post by 8BitAG »

Artic's Adventure A, B, and C, don't seem to be listed in ZXDB for the ZX80.

I was wondering if they actually existed. Plenty of Internet sources reference them, but there isn't a lot of primary/secondary sources.

Judging from magazine articles and early Artic adverts, they did actually exist, though.

See...

Your Computer August 1981 article, announcing the release of (what would be) Adventure A for the ZX80, with a ZX81 version to follow soon...

Early Artic advert, which lists the first three Adventure titles as being available for the ZX81/80... (from 1982)

And, not really connected, here is one of the earliest Artic adverts I could find, listing their titles for ZX80. I think we probably need to add some of these to ZXDB too... May/June 1981

(As an aside, a "recent" fan-made version for ZX80 and ZX81 exists which was created by porting the game to C
