Heads up: Atari VCS All-In Bundle is $99 (console, joystick, and controller) on Atari's website. Been waiting for this price point to pick one up. Wanted to pass the info along!
@chris-johnson dude buy it through walmart instead, its still Atari sold and shipped but its $80 instead of $99 😘

@@MadlittlepixelYou are the man! Thank you!! Need to see that thumb butt 😂
@@chris-johnson thanks! You didnt have to pass on the savings to me 🤑😂, I just wanted to mention it as I saw your comment and I forgot to spread the word about the $80 deal
Hi from England!
I loved the Z (zed 😂) X Spectrum (Speccy as we called it) back in the day. This was my first computer and introduced me to programming. This beauty is responsible for my career in IT. Sir Clive Sinclair was a genius. I would buy magazines that showed you how to program the Speccy.
At school, we would exchange cassette tape copies of games and use dual tape decks to 'copy' games.
My mate had a speccy, I remember seeing him copy game cassettes using a twin deck hifi
I had a Master System for a year after my Spectrum + & it made me realise that I really missed actual computing. That Speccy put me onto a path in IT too.
It's no mini ... it's exactly as big as the original
Also get the Timex/Sinclair 1000 which was the US version of the ZX81. Timex made a US version because Sinclair had contracted Timex to manufacture their computers at a Timex factory in Ireland.
I'm already on the spectrum...
😂 you're not alone
At least that's what your mom says.
after seeing this dude play the text adventure game I think he is too
Dude the Spectrum was AWESOME when you consider that yes, the color variety wasn't great but we have to play the games and appreciate the nice, solid framerate for the experience.
Like seriously if you look at the Amstrad and maybe even some Atari at the time it had a faster framerate that made the Spectrum games likely much, more enjoyable to play. It's no wonder so many liked it.
the C-64 was way better with a much better soundchip. The spectrum sounded like Who strangled the cat? Sorry to say but it never was sold in Australia and nobody noticed or cared at the time you loved the Hyerscan too?
whatcha mean was awesome? its still awesome. best machine i ever owned.
Yeah pull out a usb arcade stick or a pad mate, the keyboard was reserved for player 2 back in the 80s while we rocked our kempston interface joysticks. It's also not a mini that's the actual size of the real 48K Speccy they later made a + model with a proper solid keyboard and then 128K version and then Sinclair got sold to Amstrad who made the +2, 2A and +3 until the early 90s. Home Micro Computers died here in the mid 90s after Commodore went bust and Atari moved back to Consoles. Everybody moved to consoles or DOS gaming instead.
5:30 that magazine is very very cool
I would love an Apple ii mini.
This is great as it has a keyboard like the c64 maxi. So awesome
The Timex/Sinclair 1000 made my vic-20 look powerful.
A fun side note, it's not a mini console, that's the same size as the original unit. The ZX Spectrum was small enough that a mini edition would be pointless. Games had keyboard controls since the unit didn't have joystick ports w/o an add on, and often needed key presses to start up anyway, so a working keyboard is kind of a must for the machine. It's a neat device for sure. Also, if your monitor can do 50 Hz, it's best to run in that mode.
Can you code in basic on it like the original?
@@jwadsworth4195yes
@@jwadsworth4195yes
@@jwadsworth4195Yeah, there's a "classic" mode that has basic.
I had an Apple 2e as a kid, I'd be all over a mini one of those.
The Spectrum had 48K of addressable memory, hence the nod to that figure with the 48 games...
My cousins had a Timex Sinclair (Yea, here in the US, the Sinclair computers were sold by Timex, the watch company) at the time I thought it was pretty mediocre, but I was using a TI-99/4a at that point. They actually released a few models in the USA: the T/S 1000 followed by the T/S 1500 which were both pretty much the ZX-81 and the T/S 2068 which was the last one they sold in the US, as well as the closest equivalent to the ZX Spectrum (so long as you had the Spectrum ROM on a cartridge for it)
Its not a mini console. Thats it full size and its a personal computer lol. If you know you just know.
QAOP and Space, loved that control scheme. Fave games were Uridium, Head Over Heels, Spy Hunter and Bomb Jack. I always remember Combat School taking 8 minutes to load and crashing at the last second. Fun times.
love the review thx ML Pixel! i grew up with the speccy, try selecting 'cursor keys' for controls - that us 2 fingers on your left hand on 5 and 6, and 7,8 with the right hand, your fourth finger is on zero for shoot and your thumb for bottom row keys. also the hobbit troll section, you have to move away from that room, wait for dawn, gandalf or thorin will tell you, then you go back and the trolls have turned to stone, you can then get the key. u can also use shortcuts 'op do' is open door, e is east, w,s,n etc. enjoy : )
forgot to say, this isn't a mini, it's an actual sized replica lol
In fairness, I had a C64 growing up, though my brother hogged it.
Exact same size and I loved my little Spectrum 16k with Jet Pac, TransAm and of course the famous Jet Set Willy!
Skipped the 48k Spectrum and upgraded to a Commodore 64 after that.
this system would be so interesting if you grew up with this
Pounds my good man we did not adopt the Euro 😂
Mlp is the best, but his Gameroom smells like anchovies
🌈Taste the rainbow was yesterday, feel the rainbow is today 🌈
Everyone is on the spectrum
spectrum of life?
lookin forward to this one 🥺💖
I'm guessing you could use a usb controller. My old Spectrum had an adapter for two joysticks.
I wish china would make something like this loaded with MS Dos games
There was a company that was going to do something like that some years ago.. the PC Mini... Then it just vanished... I remember talking about it in a video before.
I ordered mine to be shipped to Australia. It cost me $201 AUD. Including delivery.
Glad you got one dude!!
You need a retro flight stick. that is how we controlled it back in day
I only knew about the Spectrum because of gaming magazines but never saw one. Good unboxing and review and cool video Ron!👍
I hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving and ate a lot of turkey!😋
You can connect a joystick if your struggling with the keyboard
It even weighs the same as the original. And the mushy buttons have the exact same level of mush :)
Nope. I measured it weighting 512 grams while my real Spectrums weight 550 - 591 grams (depending on the Issue) 😁
Top game !!! Ultra classic game: Target Renegade!
i hate it when reviewers call it a mini. its a full size recreation. obviously not original spectrum owners.
Taking it back to Spectrum
ZX Spectrum has thousands of games but most of them looks like NES games and the controls are some times different and cumbersome than modern consoles probably because it's a computer not a game machine.
I hope they will do a mini msx
Hi from England!
I had a C64 and thought the spectrum looked and sounded terrible. Where's the joystick! I ain't playing with a keyboard lol
Dammit, now I just want to play that Hobbit game. Luckily, I found it on the Internet Archive, I can play it in my browser. Better do that before the games on there get shut down. 🙄
I’m getting mine tomorrow
Tried ordering one earlier today in fact but amazon UK won't ship this to US addresses
Same. How do we get this
I had to use the website over the app to order it.
@@Nashxyzzyou mean logging into amazon uk on a desktop or something else?
@ yes
I used a forewarder. Sometimes it's even cheaper than using the webshop's overseas shipping.
can you get into basic? +3 48k loader screen anyone no?
yes you can, from settings.
@@andre0000000007 oh woow great thanks
I still have my timex
2068?
It is not a «mini». It is the same size as the original.
connect controller
Amazon says it won't ship to Cali when I click the link in the description bro
They off and on do that for some reason, im not sure why. Maybe due to demand or something they cut off shipping to anyone outside the UK for a bit, but I did get it from there. Ive seen this happen before, but they wind up changing it back after a bit to allow anyone to order.
On most webshops it's are sold out, I assume they want to serve their own guys first, then the rest of the world.
It’s not a mini really it’s the same size as the original, I’ve put them side by side and they have done a great job you can hardly tell the difference👍🏻😎🍺.
Have you updated the firmware so your new Roms you add have kempston support👍🏻😎🍺.
Since you can type on it does anyone know if you can connect a printer and get it to print out script??
There was a dot matrix printer add on you could get for the Spectrum back in the day. The Spectrum had an expansion slot on the back.
@Safetytrousers I thought so. Thank you!!
Although you can use the keyboard to program on it, it does not support a USB printer, it's a gaming device for all intends and purposes.
If there is no ideal compatible gamepad, then I wouldn't be interested.
I saw other reviews for this and you can use USB controllers like the ones from the C64 Mini/Maxi, the A500 Mini, or the Atari 400 Mini. Also one reviewer mentioned the Speedlink Competition Pro joystick working as well.
The Speedlink USB is very clicky. Might try an Atari CX40+ USB instead.
IT'S NOT A MINI IT'S FULL SIZE.
What the hell is this thing.
We have pounds £ in England mate not Euro's € 😂
Hell yeah! EU, more like PU
It's not a Mini, it's the same size as the original!
Maybe little bit of too much retro in this… lol 😂
Its not a mini - that was its size
Yeah its not mini, it is actually full size
Sexist mini console ever made
It's a maxi!
You need a joystick lol
it is one to one scale not mini
needs- pad and universal controls. like he is trying to learn controls every game seems kinda a joke
selecting cursor keys from the menu is the way we all used to do it, it's 5,6,7,8 and usually 0 for shoot
I had a Spectrum when it was current. I only ever used the default keys for games which is all I did on it. I broke the z key playing Daley Thompson's Decathlon.
Evercade pad works well , makes life a lot easier 👍👍🕹🕹
This looks amazing but not worth 130 dollars sadly hopefully releases in the US for 50
Q,A,O,P,M is a classic keys to play! :;-)
Indeed, they were always the first choice for user defined controls !
It’s not a mini
THE WORST PC EVER ... even the ZX81 was mor fun than this computer... bad graph, bad keyboard, bad minidrive, bad games, bad sound... everything on this is BAD !!!! The Commodore 64 was light years ahead with good sound, graph, paralax and so on !!
