Creating the Sinclair ZX Spectrum Vega

Creating the Sinclair ZX Spectrum Vega describes how the four founders of Retro Computers came together to create a unique games console: the Sinclair ZX Spectrum Vega. Sir Clive Sinclair, the world famous inventor, caused a technological revolution in the early 1980s when he launched the ZX Spectrum, a low-cost colour home computer that found its way into millions of households throughout the UK, Spain, Russia and many other countries across the world. The Spectrum proved so successful that more than twenty thousand games, utilities and educational titles were written for it, many of which are remembered fondly to this very day. When the Retro Computers team released the Vega, a modern interpretation of that original ZX Spectrum, one thousand of these much-loved games were pre-loaded on the console; obtaining the rights to these is just one part of the fascinating story that this book tells: the genesis, conception and development of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum Vega.
