In 1982 Sinclair Research Ltd, headed up by Clive Sinclair, launched the ZX Spectrum in the United Kingdom. This un- assuming little 8-bit computer marked a turning point for the fortunes of the comp any and in turn sparked new hardware and software industries that made overnight celebrities of bedroom coders, such as Matthew Smith and Jonathan Joffa Smith. The ZX Spectrum was a much loved phenomenon which continues to be celebrated to this day. This book takes the reader back to the dawn of the computer revolution, showcasing the games and hardware through imagery and personal narrative. "It made a generation who can code" - M.J.
