It was on this day, back in 1980, that the #Sinclair #ZX80 was launched. It did, in a very real sense, launch the home computer boom in the UK.

Forty-six years ago today, Clive Sinclair announced the ZX80. Thanks in no small part to an ocean between us and Cambridge, we didn’t have one until much later in 1980.

My dad loved hacking and souping up his ZX80. Through hindsight and the lens of my being a father, I understand that he got even more enjoyment by sharing it and standing back to see what I did.

Thanks for your amazing little white box, Sir Clive. And for the wonderful memories, Dad.

Лучшие игры легендарной машины: 45 лет назад на свет появилась линейка компьютеров ZX

Sinclair ZX80 по праву считается одним из родоначальников персональной компьютерной революции. Начало R&D-проекта по созданию ZX80 положено в 1979 году, когда Клайв Синклер совместно с командой инженеров приступил к проектированию. Через год мир увидел ZX81. Инженеры Sinclair буквально выжали максимум из него, стремясь удержать минимальную стоимость устройства. А в 1982 году произошел прорыв – свет увидел ZX Spectrum, ставший впоследствии культовой моделью 1980-х годов, сыгравшей ключевую роль в революции, благодаря которой компьютеры впервые появились в домах британцев. Игры для ZX Spectrum загружались с помощью кассетного проигрывателя и выводились на экран телевизора. В отличие от своего монохромного предшественника, они были цветными. Давайте вспомним несколько наиболее – на мой взгляд – знаковых и популярных тайтлов игровой индустрии этой легендарной серии. LOAD ""

Excerpt from an advertisement for the #Sinclair #Zx80. Its success surprised even Uncle Clive, who expected to sell around 20,000 computers with a bit of luck and ended up selling more than 50,000, despite its numerous shortcomings. But 45 years ago, it was impossible to get more for less. #retrocomputing
