Nohzdyve is the Tuckersoft ZX Spectrum created by Colin Ritman (Will Poulter) in the Black Mirror: Bandersnatch episode and you can actually download and play it in all it’s retro glory!
Black Mirror: Bandersnatch’s choose your own adventure narrative about a programmer who’s creating his own choose your own adventure is already one of the most meta experiences in recent memory, but there’s more! Netflix/Black Mirror have actually created a Tuckersoft website that allows you to browse through their catalogue and you can even download Nohzdyve – the game that Colin is working on when you first meet him.
You’ll need a ZX Spectrum emulator to play the game and it’s pretty basic (you just avoid teeth and collect eyeballs while falling), but it’s a fun little slice of retro arcade action and another layer of meta oddity to add to the Bandersnatch lore. There seems to be a lot more to discover about Bandersnatch too, so maybe it’ll be possible to play the actual Bandersnatch game at some point too!
Controls: O – Left, P – Right, Spacebar – Start
Available On: Windows, Mac, Android (Via ZX Spectrum Emulator)
