Grime 6502

Grime is an old DOS game I used to have on my PC XT... it was a simple little text game, that was a lot of fun!

Grime was written by Mark Elendt... as far as I remember I got it from an old magazine coverdisk...

currently Grime is 'abandonware'... no one seems to really remember it, and it's trickyto get working on a modern pc, as it runs too fast!!..

At the start of July 2018, I started a 7 day programming project to recreate 'Grime' as a Z80 based game... I chose it because it's fun and simple, and this gave me a good opportunity... I wasn't just going to remake Grime... I was going to make it work on 11 different systems!

I remade grime as 'Grime Z80' which uses one piece of logic code that plays on 11 different Z80 systems... namely: Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum,MSX1, MSX2, Enterprise, Sam Coupe, TI-83 calculator, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Sega Mastersystem and Sega Gamegear!

But why stop there... I now had a simple game 'template' which could be extended for something new... why just limit it to the Z80? so in December 2018 I started the project again... this time as Grime 6502
