I've been coping with a lot recently so decided to treat myself to a little something, The Spectrum ​:rainblobderpy:​, a 2024 console based on the original 48K Sinclair ZX Spectrum from 23rd April 1982, rubber keys and all. Like 2018's Spectrum Next this machine updated the hardware to a modern standard of presentation, and includes modern ports for power and connectivity (1xUSB-C, 5xUSB-A).

Reader, I'm delighted with it. I've already had a bash at Horace Goes Skiing and it all came flooding back...how bad I was at Horace Goes Skiing.

Not only that but seller included a 16Gb USB that held hundreds of Mb of other speccy games - possibly all of them easily sourced from fan sites and less reputable channels - which you can access and play through the console's main menu. That's a catalogue of over 9000 titles NOT including the eye-openingly fantastic Homebrew games made by fans in the decades since. See you in 2201? 😁

My new The Spectrum console, freshly unboxed with specially created mini Crash! magazine booklet (A popular Speccy Magazine of the period) and the instructions using a facsimile of the famous image from the original rhino-stunning book of How To Code BASIC that came with the original machine. The console is in the shape of the old rubber-keyed 48K speccy but has more advanced innards capable of emulating later machines as well as five USB ports - four for gamepads.
And here is a photo of my monitor with the console's "Carousel" screen, a menu depicting a horixontal gallery of the 48 games (I see what you did there) that are stored in the machine, titles including Skool Daze, Horace Goes Skiing, The Hobbit and Target Renegade. This is nostalgic joy right here. Oh, I've been emulating the speccy on PC since the 90s but it's still lovely to have a replica machine I can play on a TV!
