Yesterday we featured the new Sinclair ZX Spectrum Vega games console that has been created as a prototype to enable gamers to play retro ZX Spectrum titles, using a console that is styled on the 1980’s ZX Spectrum personal computer created by Clive Sinclair.
The campaign launched on Indiegogo yesterday looking to raise £100,000 in funding to produce the first 1,000 ZX Spectrum Vega consoles and get them into the hands of retro gamers worldwide. In just one day the £100,000 pledge goal has already been met and surpassed with still 59 days left of the campaign to run.
For £100 you will be able to get your hands on one of the limited edition Sinclair ZX Spectrum Vega consoles that are being produced in a first run of 1,000 units.
“The Vega has been developed by Chris Smith, a former ZX Spectrum games developer who is the world’s leading expert on Sinclair Spectrum technology and author of the definitive technical book “The ZX Spectrum ULA: How to design a microcomputer.
Retro Computers Ltd is making arrangements with the owners of the software rights to Spectrum games to donate a combined software royalty to a charity – Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. The company’s Chairman, Dr David Levy, had his life saved by the hospital when he was diagnosed with meningitis as a 3-year-old.
This Indiegogo campaign is to raise funds to manufacture the first 1,000 units of the Vega within the UK and to prepare us for the second production run.”
