30 Years old today, makes me feel really old :(

yep, Happy Birthday the other sort of ZX! :)

I heard this on the wireless (thumbs up to those who remember this expression) this morning - hell I had one myself all those years back.....

 

.....got mine in '83 though as I still had a ZX81 when the Spectrum was launched!

Anyone on here still got one? :detective:

Just recently sold mine got £80 for it :)

We've got a couple of em kicking about. Might have to raid my other halfs 'nerdy computery stuff' collection if they are worth money!! I remember the days, sitting for ages for the tape to load, only to have it fail and having to start all over again :(

great soundtrack to the loading games :-)

I've got a few of them matey. A couple of original 48K's an amstrad +2 and a genuine Sinclair 128K (before amstrad ruined them) :)

Didnt they have the lines flashing either side of a loading screen too?

Remember 'Daley Thompsons Decathlon'? lol...used to kill my fingers playing that game! :)

I reckon my parents still have it in their loft!!

 

Along with the Acorn Electron, BBC micro, Atari VCS etc......

ThaT was the commodore 64 not the spectrum!! Early games had yellow and blue lines around the boarder and later ones had a countdown timer!! Loved my first ZX though! Started off with the 48K and got a 128K+2 later on which had the same sound chip as the Atari ST!!

Worth digging out yours in those attics people! :)

That's for the rarer 16k version 1. My mate had one and we would spend hours play Jet Pac, Psst etc..
