The rubber key Speccy 48k was my first computer, bought with my first paycheck as a COBOL programmer way back in '83. I loved that thing like nothing else I've ever owned. I learned BASIC programming on it, spent hours typing in games from magazines, then more hours debugging the damn things when they inevitably failed to work properly. I played most of the classic games, and I distinctly remember being amazed by the technology and the sheer creativity of the people writing the games. When 'The Spectrum' caught my attention a few months back, I was in two minds about whether I wanted one. On the one hand: the nostalgia factor is *huge* - it looks just like the old Speccy, down to the swoosh of colours in the corner, but it's even better with the added hdmi and usb support. On the other hand: would I ever really use it? The games, being honest, are kinda rubbish compared to what's sitting right here on my gaming PC. On the other, other hand: the simplicity of the games can be a good thing - just dive in and out with no learning curve, no need to min-max your build, no endless reading of lore. Just play. Finally I decided earlier this week that no, I would not buy one. Well after watching your unboxing video followed by this one, you've talked me into ordering one online - should be here by Wednesday. Damn you, OG! Take my angry subscribe! 🤣 The first game I add will definitely be 'Impossible Mission', I played it endlessly but never managed to finish it. This is my chance to redeem myself. 😁

Hi og, like you I loved my Amiga mini but this looks amazing. I downloaded all my faves on the Amiga but will be picking one of these up tomorrow with a 16gb stick Games I’d recommend Flying shark Renegade Footballer of the year Batty Myth New Zealand story R-type Batman 3d Batman the movie Chase hq And many many more Can’t wait to upload some games but those 48 pre loaded including my spect fave match day 2 is just immense and like you I honestly think this will be better as it’s rubber key time 😀😀👍👍👍 cheers Jonathan

[@mark-andrews]

I sincerely hope WOS (World of Spectrum) doesn't suddenly become unavailable it's been live for probably at least 25-Years, exactly the same GUI front-end as I remember. i have not visited the site for a while but probably will be again soon.

Yes.
