For Elite Systems, it's the culmination of 20 years of experience in the game industry, which have taken it from creating its own games for the ZX Spectrum to porting some of the console's biggest titles from yesteryear over to modern devices like the iPad. Well, for starters, the new model doesn't do any processing - it's simply a Bluetooth keyboard. You might wonder what differences there are between the Recreated Sinclair ZX Spectrum and the original. Wilcox and his team ended up buying a handful of machines on eBay and 3D scanning them in order to accurately mimic the design. In the transition period, many of the old Spectrum designs were lost, including the original wooden models on which the ZX Spectrum was based. Then, over a decade later, Sky bought Amstrad for £125 million ($253 million at the time), which meant it became the new owner of Sinclair's intellectual property. In 1986, Sinclair sold his loss-making computer business, along with all its rights and inventions, to Sir Alan Sugar's Amstrad for £5 million ($7.4 million today). The Makingĭespite its popularity in the past, recreating the ZX Spectrum hasn't been easy. It features the same rubber keys, fonts and even sports faux air vents on the back to match its predecessor.

If you've laid eyes on a ZX Spectrum before, you'd (like me) be hard-pressed to notice a difference between the old model and its newer counterpart. The key word here is "recreated." In fact, that's its name: the Recreated Sinclair ZX Spectrum.

Instead of attempting to recapture my youth at my parent's house, I'm in London meeting Steve Wilcox, founder of Elite Systems, whose company has recreated Sir Clive Sinclair's 5 million-selling retro personal computer for the tablet age.
