Despite advancing years I never owned a Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Plenty of friends did but my 8-bit home computer was an Amstrad CPC – although ironically Amstrad later bought the Spectrum name and released a series of CPC doppelgangers with the Spectrum badge which carried on the lineage beyond this original rubber-keyed icon of computing. We have had Spectrum remakes before but none have ever captured the look and feel of the original hardware, with its stupid membrane keyboard and unusual shape until now and I love that The Spectrum has gone for this vibe. I was a big fan of the A500 Mini too when that came out, and even as a collector of original hardware, there is something very cool about seeing these homages born into the world. “We’re thrilled to launch The Spectrum and deeply appreciate the enthusiastic support from the community.
