reboot? cute.
Real Spectrum enthusiasts have a Pentagon 1024SL or Pentagon Evolution nowadays 😉
Hmm time for some bias,
its only the ZX Spectrum no one cares about that right? I much prefer the Amstrad CPC because I do ahhh I can just feel my bias, I can only have allegiance to one 8bit home computer right?
Now I get to have a tiny rant about the article I didn't get very far,
the ZX Spectrum is NOT a console its a computer,
why do people always have to get that wrong just like the
Amstrad CPC, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Acorn Electra, Enterprise 64, MTX512 etc
are all home computers not consoles.

Ah well it might be interesting to some people but not to me, wonder if all the games will be in monochrome 😜

Real "real spectrum enthusiasts" still have functional ZX Spectrum +.
I have traveled across the universe and through the years to find Her.
Sometimes going all the way is just a start...

I have a non-functional Czerweny Spectrum (rebranded Argentinian clone) with the demo cassetes and users manual, even the original box!
I hope someone picks it up here in N. America. I think we only got the first model of Spectrum computer here after the ZX-81 and then they stopped selling them. It was one of the early innocent bystanders to be gunned down after Commodore's declaration of war against Texas Instruments.

Lol. But otoh it's nice to see a wider acknowledgement (ZOMG I spelled acknowledgement right the 1st time!!! 😳 ) of retro computing as a whole 😀
