Homage to the Sinclair ZX Spectrum

Описание: The ZX Spectrum is a home computer that was released in UK in 1982 by Sir Clive Sinclair's company - Sinclair Research. It is credited with single-handedly launching the home computer market in the UK and catching the imagination of the public - right from 5 year olds to middle aged housewives. Its technical specs included 48K memory, 3.5MHz Z80 microprocessor, a sound beeper, an external expansion port, multi-command rubber keys and employed audio tapes as a tape storage device. But such was its simplicity, versatility and great design that software companies were soon jumping on the bandwagon to write various kinds of software for it. Hundreds of companies were setup overnight in bedrooms of budding programmers. It wasn't long before computer magazines dedicated to the ZX Spectrum were born and various books were written teaching people how to use the ZX Spectrum. Despite its relative limitations, innovative and skilled programmers came up with amazing games and software that caught the fancy of the public at large and it wasn't long before the machine went on to become one of the best selling 8-bit machines of all time. Today, it lives on in the hearts and minds of hundreds (if not thousands) of nostalgic Spectrum users around the world. Long live the Speccy!
