Yes, and also programming language Petr which was used for making mny other games. He was most active in last 70' and 80 when he programmed for 8bits and lot of tools for PC (DOS). It was written in pure asm, smaller faster better.
As I read, he even build his own 8bit computer for which he wrote a BIOS (or monitor or how to call it) on paper, debug it on paper and in his mind. Then he has only one chance to burn the code in PROM (that times in our country such parts was very rare and unavailable for common people) and it worked. Respect to him.
