Games from 8-bit era online – ZX Spectrum
The Spectrum was among the first home computers in the UK aimed at a mainstream-audience, similar in significance to the Commodore 64 in the US. The introduction of the ZX Spectrum led to a boom in companies producing software and hardware for the machine, the effects of which are still seen. Some credit it as the machine which launched the UK IT industry.
