Why shouldn't a 1976 game run on a 1976 computer?
well, because it's simply too large for a small thing like the kim-1 :D
Ryan Roth developed an SD card adapter for the KIM three years ago, which has been used to run CP/M. And now he had the idea to use the same hardware to load program parts off the sd card.
Here is the result:

We have adventure for the KIM-1
I got it running with Ryans help (thank you so much). The main problem is to set the partition on the SDcard to filesystem type 0C (FAT32) ... Windows does not allow this. Even if you demand FAT32 it uses vFAT (07). To prevent this in the future or for windows only users, Ryan also offers an Diskimage that can be written to the SD card.
The game requires still requires an enormous ammount of RAM. No problem if you have a PAL-2. But I'm sure if you sort the memory a bit in the sources there is a chance to load the 24 kb program to the area around $2000 and have enough space to run the game.
Now let's go to the Streambed and the Grate!
