A Broad Spectrum

So the ZX Spectrum is 30 years old. This iconic computer stormed the UK back in the early 80's and still has a loyal fan base. I never really got ZX Spectrum as it was my sworn enemy as I owned a Commodore 64 at the time but I understand it's appeal, now I'm older and slightly more sensible. ZX Spectrum was the follow up to the ZX81 and hit the UK marketplace in 1982. The pricing of the ZX Spectrum was the main reason why it out sold it's higher spec rivals (C64 still miles better - once a fanboy always a fanboy). It boasted titles like Manic Miner, the wonderfully weird Jet Set Willy and the simple Horace Goes Skiing. It's slimline design, attractive packing and rubber keys set it aside other heavy, dull and boxy computer systems. The ZX Spectrum was iconic milestone for Sir Clive's company and I want to wish it Happy Birthday!!!!
