A downloadable Retro game

This is a free remake of Tetris for the computer which many describe as igniting the British computer industry, the legendary Sinclair zx81. 

This should run on an un-expanded zx81 with 1K bytes of memory

Also there are "no frills" it's the basic tetris game with no intro screen.  But it plays well like real tetris. It has current and high score.

fixed bug in rotate anticlockwise code, and saved a few more bytes - p file is 729bytes so loads faster off tape :)

now updated to run in 1K RAM on ZX81 - so you don't need a ram pack.
