#SINCLAIR ZX SPECTRUM VEGA KICKSTARTER CODE#
People are still using Spectrums and Spectrum clones to game, code and create in all of these countries. Not only in the UK where it was made, but it was also huge in countries like Russia, Brazil and Spain to name just a few. Since then, however, the ZX Spectrum has always held a hugely sentimental place in many a gamer’s heart. Sadly the +3 was where the line ended and gamers moved on to 16-bit computers like the Atari ST and Amiga and consoles like the SNES and Mega Drive.
I envied those who had the cool looking Spectrum +3 with a built in disk drive instead of the cassette deck. I progressed from the iconic rubber-keyed 48k ZX Spectrum to the ZX Spectrum +2 with built in datacorder. It’s where I learned to game, playing such classics as Jet Pac, Manic Miner, Jet Set Willy, Knight Lore, Target Renegade, Cobra, Daley Thompson’s Decathlon, Starquake, Elite and many many more. The ZX Spectrum was my favourite computer of all time. The ZX Spectrum reborn: a new machine, fully compatible with the original computer, and packed with improvements and expansions. In the words of the campaign owners, here is the description…
Today is the 35th anniversary of the launch of the ZX Spectrum, so it’s very fitting that they chose today to launch the Kickstarter for the Spectrum Next. It looks like it may well get fully funded within 24 hours which would be amazing. At the time of writing this blog post at around 8.45pm on Sunday 23rd April it has already funded £220,000 of its £250,000, and that’s after only 17 hours. The ZX Spectrum Next project which launched today is probably the one that I have been most excited about though. Mostly books but occasionally other things.
