Es un producto hecho con un cariño infinito y un profundo respeto al original (no solo mantiene la numeración sino que incluso tienen el mismo ISBN), sorprendentemente lleno de contenido para tratarse de un nicho dentro de una afición de nicho. La única pega que le puedo poner es que las demos son solo para la versión en digital con lo cual en papel pierdes una parte de la experiencia. Encantado estoy, no solo seguiré suscrito sino que posiblemente me pase a papel más digital para tener nuevos viejos juegos para el Spectrum :flan_hearts: </p><p><a href="https://frankenwolke.com/tags/zxspectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>zxspectrum</span></a> <a href="https://frankenwolke.com/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://frankenwolke.com/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrogaming</span></a> <a href="https://frankenwolke.com/tags/spectrum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>spectrum</span></a> <a href="https://frankenwolke.com/tags/sinclair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sinclair</span></a></p>

Just contributed to the Issue 3 of the ZX Spectrum Next kickstarter! Looking forward for the accelerated version around December…

It is all (4 times!) fully backed now, but if you’re interested, now is the moment. And there is a translucent magenta case that might just be your thing…

Just have a look! 29 days to go…

This touched a nostalgic nerve. I never knew the life paths of Clive Sinclair and Gary Kildall were so similar.

Yes, it was me that bought it... Bit of nostalgic history to me this thing. Not quite the same revision as the one I had (mine had the Interface One fixings and hole for the microdrive cable), but the feel is sooo familiar!

Sold as a "rare DkTronics computer ", it was clearly a Spectrum in there... Issue 2 as it turns out.
