ROBOTACK 2024 is a high-resolution graphics game for the ZX81/Timex Sinclair 1000, best played via the EightyOne emulator in ZXPand mode with a joystick. On actual hardware it works too, assuming you’ve got the ZXPand connected and nerves of steel. The game theoretically offers 99 rounds, though the creators admit it gets “pretty quick” after round 8, challenging anyone to break that barrier.
