You can recall the beginnings of microcomputing in Spain, with its wide thematic display and many classic computers that could be used to play the most popular video games. Sir Clive’s inventions include calculators, radios, portable TVs and the Sinclair C5 electric car, which was the only one in the country.
A sample is also included that is dedicated to Spectrum’s first gaming machine. It was an alternative to arcades.
Natalia Arregui (Councillor for University Extension and Knowledge Transfer of La Zubia), opened the meeting and highlighted that the council has been involved in a series of small talks that have helped us to understand the past, present, and future of the community who continues to bring the Sinclair ZX Spectrum alive. The community of Sinclair ZX Spectrum fans was full of stories, anecdotes, and projects. There were also a series screenings to honor its creator and his legacy.
