The hardware is reportedly being created by games developer Elite Systems Ltd, which was originally founded in England back in 1984.

Although few details are known about the new Spectrum, The Telegraph reports that it will be a bluetooth keyboard designed to look and feel like the original - suggesing you're going to be able to plug it into your telly and play immediately

Yeah, seen a report about this on engadget a couple of months ago Treasure Island dizzy was amazing



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

I had a Spectrum 48K. Not sure if it was the ZX or not. I remember a platforming game like Mario were we had to jump on chickens. Those were the times.



That is one awful picture.

PS. Edited mine out to stop breaking the thread :(



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

My parents played adventure games on this like 25 years ago. They stopped gaming after Monkey Island I on DOS.

Now they can't play Mario Kart well.
