Hi,
I've just discovered pyz80 and am having a fresh bash at some Sam
projects. As I'm simultaneously working on a Freescape interpreter for
the PC, my thoughts have inevitably turned to 3d on the Sam, even if
it means a Freescape-style non-realtime display. I'm therefore curious

I remember you released your Open3D disk on your website many
My original Sam only had 256K. And it really annoyed me later on when

I assume you're referring to Marc Broster's Dead Wild Cat demo on
