Super excited about this project, it’s a new “enhanced” version of the Spectrum!

I’m really surprised to be typing that there’s going to be a new ZX Spectrum, it’s been FOREVER since my career really took off developing games for the original one. My big break was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (called the Hero Turtles in the UK), that gave me a #1 Hit and plenty of work followed.
It’s now a museum piece of hardware and so I must admit I’m excited to see this team making a new one, it’s a retro dream! (Heck, it even looks cool!)
They have a surprise in the FAQ that it will run ZX81 games as well. Are you kidding?
I just signed up for their newsletter… Will be interesting to see it develop.
