# Rock Crush

Given the paucity of new software for the ZX81/TS1000, it is indeed heartening to discover that there are still at least a few programmers who, like me, still consider this venerable machine worthy of support. One such programmer is a Mr. S. McDonald, in Scotland. He has written a high resolution game called “ROCK CRUSH,” and is distributing it via Scott Dolan.
