The ZX81's native resolution of 64x48 suits big bold graphics, like 3D Monster Maze and Mazogs. This is another good example where the developers have leaned into the limitations. Surprised I've not come across this before. As ever, great video review by @villordsutch.bsky.social

After meeting an old man in the desert, I've decided to start listening to the voices in my head, and I want to vaporise two million people. Thanks to the power of the #ZX81, I can now do that, with 3D Star Raid, which is definitely not #StarWars. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii1A...

We have similar restrictions on the MZ, 80x50 pseudo-pixels. It's a challenge but also you can end up with some pretty cool big sprites :)
