ZX80 type in: Black Hole

21/04/2025

Black Hole was originally a type in puzzle game for the ZX80 written by Bill Eckel and published in Sync Magazine back in 1981.

I couldn't see any instances of it typed in and ready for download, so I am doing so here, with the slight change of adding a move counter. I've also provided ZX81 and a slightly tarted up ZX Spectrum version.

The aim of the game is simple: invert the board - blow those stars up until you get a black hole surrounded by stars.?

You can download them all here, I've also created a Sega Master System port which you can find on itch.io.
