A company called SpecNext is making a new ZX Spectrum model, with backwards compatability, an 8KHz turbo mode, 512kb of RAM, Wi-Fi, and VGA output. 175 britbong bucks.
Is it going to bomb like all the other Spectrum revivals?Does its game library justify any of this shit?

>£175
What a fucking ripoff.
>>
>>3945398
Fucking why? Honestly the handheld one looked pretty cool but this shit needs to end, especially with the ridiculous prices.
>>
175 Quid, Yeah, no.
75 quid maybe.
>>
Yet another shitty literal europoor computer. Please fuck off
>>
>>3945398
Is it a SOAC, emulation, or real hardware? That price is insane, but I would be interested at a lower price if it's not emulation.

>>3946128
Should have read the kickstarter, it's an FPGA clone. Hence the cost...
>>
Honestly, what significant games debuted on the Speccy? It's a machine mostly fueled by Britbong nostalgia Stockholm syndrome.
I can think of two off the top of my head: "The Lords of Midnight" and "Laser Squad". That's it, really.

Don't be one of those "yeah, no" guys.

This is what palfags actually believe.

You can buy a spectrum, do it up nicely with a fresh membrane etc. and add an SD card slot for £100 less than this.
>>
>>3946140
WHY?
The CPU used in the spectrum is still produced!
It's a fucking Z80, they're dirt cheap!

>This is literally more expensive than the Spectrum when it launched.
>The original at launch with the more powerful 48K version costed exactly £175 at launch before adjusting to inflation
You do realize tech released those days are priced like crazy by today's standards, right?
>>
>>3946208
Because the Z80 is the only chip used in and compatible with the Spectrum that is still in production.
>>
>>3946241
Maybe SOAC the rest? It's frustrating to see this premature push to FPGAs for projects that absolutely do not need it.

>512kb of RAM, Wi-Fi
Yeah that would work with my 300MBPS fibre interwebz!
>>
Too pricey. Would get for £75.
>>
>>3946148
Knightmare is pretty famous
Rareware also made their debut
>>
>>3946458
Agreed. I grew up with the Speccy so £75 would be agreeable for a small nostalgia fix but £175 is way too steep.
