I love the putting it in a gutted A400.
TheTimex Sinclair (assembled) was marketed as the first home computer for under a hundred bucks ($99). A buddy of mine ran a BBS dedicated the Sinclair. He ran it on a Commador 64
$80 in '82 is ~$260 now.
And now look at current prices for game consoles...
I don't think that's a good comparison.
Damn. Just ran that and came to your comment.
oh damn, thank you for posting this! I had one of these as a kid but could never remember exactly which one it was but that jogged the memory instantly
Merry Christmas :D
Still have mine!
Me too. Luckily I had a friend who studied electrical engineering who helped me put it together.

I wish I still had mine. 3D monster maze, 1k chess, nightgunner, gulpman.
My neighbor had a zx80. I remember playing a game on that too, but i don't remember what it was.
Did you build it yourself? It looks awesome!
