Step back in time to the 1980s as we explore the groundbreaking ZX Spectrum, the affordable home computer that revolutionized gaming and inspired a generation of developers. From iconic games like Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy to its role in teaching programming, the ZX Spectrum left an indelible mark on the industry.
But that’s not all! In this video, we also dive into other gaming stories making waves today. Learn about Atari’s revival of Bounty Bob Strikes Back for the Atari 7800+, the stunning LEGO Atari 2600 set on sale, and how Valve was saved by a surprising hero in its early days. Plus, we highlight Pinball FX’s digital adaptation of the legendary Banzai Run table and celebrate the growing accessibility of cloud gaming on Mac.
