The design perfectly transmutes the cheap minimalist beauty of the classic ZX Spectrum home computer into a unique handheld game console. But does the ZX Vega capture the experience of the early 80’s machine?
Indie Retro News reviews it and finds it well-worth your £99, so long as you know what you’re getting: a weird British contraption from the early 80s, and only the game-related features of it at that.
Hardcore Speccy fans may have been shouting to have room for expansion but, it’s plain to see that this is not what it’s about. If you look at this at what it’s meant to be, a handheld Speccy to play games on, you can’t got far wrong. I agree that you can’t beat the original Speccy, the same goes for any original computer but as a pick-up-and-play, it fits perfectly.
