25 years of the creation of Sir Clive Sinclair - ZX Spectrum

Yesterday, April 23, it was 25 years since the release in 1982 of the beloved computer of millions - ZX Spectrum.

Being an improved version of its predecessor - black and white ZX-81 - the new ZX Spectrum provided users with elegant 8 colors in 256x192 resolution, a fast 3.5 MHz processor and, importantly, an excellent redesigned keyboard.
This computer raised a whole generation of enthusiastic IT people, and in the mass of options came to the entire ex-USSR, getting unthinkable development for its creator - here he obzovlyulsya mice, disk drives, fivefold memory, became a full participant of more than one Demo Party and the favorite of millions.

And even today we can remember what we played on it and how it looked - just go to one of the numerous archives of Spectrum software and emulators .

But, unfortunately for Sir Sinclair, this creation remained unsurpassed - no further development of Clive could repeat the success of this model, although he tried to bring his innovations to personal transport, radio and poker.
