I admit I’m a Speccy boy, but prior to this article I knew ‘nowt about the ZX81. Retro Gamer were left hangin’ by a writer, and asked me to put together this hardware retrospective instead.
I had one week to learn about the ZX81 and deliver a full article. A significant machine, as it turned out. I’ve been bidding on mint ones on eBay ever since, although some psychic retro bastards always seems to swipe ‘em out from under me.
