WHAT WAS THE FIRST REACTION
WHEN YOU TOLD YOU WERE RUNNING
3D MONSTERMAZE ON ZX81EMUL?

THEY DID NOT BELIEVE IT WAS ON A ZX SPECTRUM

My ZX Spectrum had a DK-tronics keyboard and there is also such a keyboard for the ZX81.
Even when I told to look at the keys or see the attached microdrive I had to activate the menu (1+0) to show it was
on a ZX Spectrum.

Then everyone was called to take a look and I had to make copies of the program for everyone.

A gameboy emulator was planned and started for the SAM Coupe but was never finished.

A P2000 emulator was never planned but I phad the idea to code a ZX81 emulator on the P2000.

WHY DID YOU CODE KLAVERJAS
IN 2005?

YOU PLAYED IT ON A PC AND THOUGHT I CAN CODE BETTER


I had a PC version of this dutch game but it played awfull. So I thougt I could make a better version.
The game KLAVERJASSEN for the ZX Spectrum was also MIA so I thought I would make a new game.

After finishing the game I entered the game for an online competion which it won.

HOW IS THE ORIGINAL BOARDGAME
OF WORLDBAR CALLED?

CAFE INTERNATIONAL

I bought the boardgame around 1989 and a collegua liked the game years later but it was sold out. So I started coding
a BASIC version of the boardgame with 2 players.

Years later I coded the computer AI version and later the arcade version of the game.

WHY WAS PORTING SHOGUN TO THE ZX81 IN 2010 A PROBLEM?

THE USE OF IX ON THE ZX SPECTRUM

In the ZX Spectrum version IX was used to trace all directions. Since IX is used for the display I had to rewrite
that part too.

The screen, keyboard and colour were known issues but the use of IX was unexpected.
