  I remember typing in TED.ASM from one of the PC magazines in the late 80s. 
Yes, it's for MS-DOS, but:

	1) The 8086 is somewhat, kind of, source compatible with the
	8080/Z80 (if you squint hard enough)

	2) It was 3K when assembled into TED.COM

	3) Was full screen.  And quite basic.  

  I'm not sure how hard it would be to translate it to 8080/Z80.
