I have been planning to write ZX Spectrum retrospective recently, but I realized I had already done it some time ago on the occasion of 25th anniversary of this extraordinary computer. Instead of writing a long-winded article over again, I have chosen instead to present you with two Spectrum-related movies I have found on Youtube.
The first clip is an advertisement for ZX Spectrum+ (exactly the model I had) from the eighties, and boy does it look cool.
The second clip is a retro music video featuring "SUPERB remix of Martin Galway's C64 'Arkanoid' theme (remixed by Lagerfeldt). The Arkanoid tune is of course a remix of Martin's ZX Spectrum music from the Ocean game 'Cobra'" which means that not only the video, but music as well stems from ZX Spectrum roots.
If you missed on the age of 8bit computers, you might watch it in the similar way people go to museum to see caveman tools exhibition, and if you are a thirty-plus nostalgic (like me), enjoy
this little retro flashback.

Confirms what I've always thought... we are the Chosen ones man, now youngsters are completely spoiled with their damn latest 3D chips handling zillions of polygons per second.
Still crying like a child when I remember of Another World, made by one guy only... good old times !
(well, doesn't mean I don't enjoy recent stuff, but I'm out of the game now, with more than 4 y.o machines all around me... sigh)
I hereby announce this site dead. Move along, nothing to see here.
