10 games that defined the ZX Spectrum
Eurogamer:
In its early promotional material for the ZX Spectrum, Sinclair often went to almost painful lengths to avoid using the word 'games'. Released 35 years ago this month, the microcomputer was designed by Sir Clive Sinclair with serious applications in mind, and an optimistic role as a central hub for the nation's households. Constantly reiterating its expandability, these initial adverts were all about tech, emphasising the Spectrum's 'massive' RAM of 16 or – crikey! – 48k, as well as its high resolution and accessories, including a printer and the doomed ZX Microdrive.
