Celebrating 35+ Years of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum
As a proud member of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum generation, I present some of my early experiments in programming in Sinclair BASIC. You won't find any exciting game-play, jaw-dropping 3D graphics or detectable originality here, but if you spent endless hours in the early '80s punching code into a rubber keyboard then perhaps this collection will amuse you.
