Spectrum

The ZX Spectrum was one of the first widely sold home computers (way back in the 80s – I actually started out with a ).

It is also one of the most widely emulated (I won’t even try to list all the emulators here, only the ones that stand out in one way or another).

I used to own a plain 48K:

ZX Spectrum 48K
ZX Spectrum 48K

…and later, a 128K “+3″:

ZX Spectrum +3 (128K)
ZX Spectrum +3 (128K)
