Happy Birthday, ZX Spectrum

The ZX Spectrum home computer is celebrating its 25th birth day today!

The ZX Spectrum has been officially released by Sinclair on April 24th, 1982. It featured a Zilog Z80 processor clocked at 3.5MHz, 16kB ROM and 48kB RAM. With its resolution of 256x192 pixels, it could display games such as Rebelstar II, and even run the CP/M operating system.

So if you still have an old ZX Spectrum in the attic, take it out today and hug it.
