Sinclair ZX80 / ZX81 / Z88 Forums

Quite, as you say, its a niche forum. I thought it was more general, it says in its header it is Sinclair ZX World, hence my post. But it appears its more of a ZX80 and 81 centric forum. Ill post elsewhere from now on, as maybe Next videos are off topic here. I wish you nothing but long life peace a...

Trouble is no amount of nostalgia would allow me to play the games I did as a kid without being told to grow up ! :lol: I don't know. Games are games.

Mine is supposed to get here net Monday. As much as I love the Next, seems to me the most efficient hardware solution is the sizif512, but it doesn't mean much without the cool case of the Next. That said, my favorite is still the Zeddy. Well, my case IS actually curved along its bottom, by about 4...

I suspect a number of people on here may disagree that a ZX80 / ZX81 was almost useless! They probably would, and in absolute terms of course, they would be right. I suppose it had more processing power than the NASA computers for the moon programme? Maybe, but... AFAIK, when you typed in code, on ...
