British video game legend Sir Clive Sinclair has returned with a crowdfunding campaign for a new ZX Spectrum computer that plays all the Sinclair Spectrum games. Read the rest over at Eurogamer, comes in under £100 and with 1000 games built-in, but you can download more from the internet for free. Its creators say that to their knowledge the device runs over 14,000 games developed during the Spectrum era.

Don't know if I could go back to zx spectrum games as much fun as they were when I was a kid, we've really been spoiled by the evolution of games. Things that amazed and captivated us 30 years ago, could they grip us in that way again or would they ruin the memory?

Is Sir Clive really involved, I thought the Spectrum rights were sold to Amstrad/Alan Sugar?

Is Sir Clive really involved, I thought the Spectrum rights were sold to Amstrad/Alan Sugar? 'The Sinclair intellectual property is owned by a company called Sky In-Home Service (a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's British Sky Broadcasting), which grabbed the rights from Amstrad. The Vega is under license.'
Like what it says in the link.

Way too expensive to even be tempted to take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, count me out.

I'm doing well today, I refer you to the shoutbox. That is so far down the page that too much energy is required to scroll down to it. That's into the realms of physical exertion. I may as well view the forums on a kinect.
