Happy Birthday; ZX Spectrum!

Recommended Posts

Today is the 30th Birthday of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum! #PartyFavors

 

 

For those of you who don't know what that is; it's a home computer that was well known for loading games from cassettes via an included tape recorder; I'm not lucky enough to own one but I own a similar machine which I spent two weeks actually fooling around with it to get it to work. It paid off and loaded the games from tape! But I digress; who here is lucky enough to own one of the original ZX spectrum machines?

Dude, most of the people in this clan are 15+, they wouldn't know what this is unless they were extremely geeky. C64 > ZX

Get on my level scrubs!

 

I'm 16 and I know about it ;p

 

Plus the 'similar machine' I was talking about WAS the commodore C64; I spent ages fooling with the datasette and it clicked, now I can use my 36 tapes and I have a new and BOXED joystick coming from ebay; fuck yeah!
