MacMan's RetroChallenge July 2008 Blog
Recently I happened to be taking some rubbish to a bin at work and upon opening the large, industrial-sized dumpster in the car park I noticed something black and electronic looking sitting inside. I reached in and turned it over and was surprised to discover that it was a 128K Sinclair ZX Spectrum +! Furthur raiding in the bin uncovered the power supply, a 1980's tape recorder for loading programs, the manual and necessary tape and video cables. I got it home and after giving it a good clean I powered it on and was delighted to find that it works. That is as far as I have got with it! I've never used a Spectrum before so I'm not familiar with it, nor do I have any program/game tapes.
This July it is my intention to learn how to use my Sinclair Spectrum, get some games running on it and perhaps even try writing a program or two of my own. I will document my progress on this page and will provide fairly regular updates, hopefully with lots of pictures.
