do you have or did you EVER have or did you play on a zx spectrum 48 K computer

i got one for my son a long time ago and also about 40 games , we still have it but have not used it for yearsTo tell you the truth, I've never even heard of one until now, and I thought I knew about most of the early computers. It sounds like it was more of a UK product.

Interesting article about it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX_Spectrumwe all learn something new every day


it was a British invention by sir Clive Sinclair as your link says and it lead to all the copies world wide of the gaming computers they updated to the 64k but i never knew they were still making games for it

we bought the weekly input mag; for it and you could learn how to write simple games which i did and also learn how to write binary code but that was very HARD i gave up on that

sir clive also invented an electric one seater covered in bicycle but it never caught on

And in case you are wondering I didn't have to look that up on wikipedia, because I just read about it no less then 30 minutes ago here. (in a comment).

Of course I had heard about the spectrum long before that, just had no idea it was a region-exclusive product (excepting it's exact duplicate with a different name, of course)



yes it was regional , as i said it was made in BRITAIN and really took of and then spread and i see the Timex has the inventors name as well

it would surprise you how many people never heard of it , i must check and see if ours is still working
