Clive Sinclair's ZX Spectrum is a truly iconic bit of 80s computer design, and readers of a certain age will have the opportunity to relive a youth spent palpating its rubber keys this November, when it returns to homes - with a bunch of included classic games and modern niceties thrown in - courtesy of Retro Games, the team behind this year's Atari 400 Mini. The Spectrum (as Retro Games is calling its new bit of old-school-inspired hardware) takes its design cues from the unforgettable 48K, with its rubber keys and iconic rainbow stripe - but, as per VGC, its innards are a little more multi-generational, capable of emulating all the classic Spectrum variants: the 16K, 48K, Spectrum+ (AKA my first home computer), and 128K. Notably, The Spectrum's rubber keyboard is fully functional, and there's support for a wide variety of USB controller devices, meaning purchasers have a decent number of options when it comes to playing its 48 bundled games - which include bona fide classics such as Head Over Heels, Jack the Nipper, Manic Miner, The Hobbit, Auf Wiedersehen Monty, and Skool Daze.
