Default Re: Sinclair Spectrum considerations

Thank you all.

The attraction of the Spectrum for me is that it's what I had growing up. For whatever reason when it became obsolete and my friends had other machines my parents wouldn't get me anything else (the Spectrum was bought for me by my Grandad) and there ended my gaming career!

At the time the Spectrum magazines seemed to suggest that the games on the Spectrum were more "playable" than on rival machines. I suppose they would though.

Despite me seeming to suggest not wanting an emulator, I was thinking more the type that you can get on your phone. I may also investigate Raspberry Pi models, although they would have to come ready to go as I don't have any computer building skills.

So yes, there's a bit of nostalgia, and also my interest in using vintage kit. I often use my radios, record deck and cassette player to varying degrees despite also having modern streaming options.
