The ZX Spectrum is a line of 8-bit personal computers from British company Sinclair Research. Its hardware was nothing to write home about. In fact, it suffered from a graphical quirk called "attribute clash" that limited its colors in a bizarre way (every 8x8 pixel area could contain only two colors) and made its games look primitive when compared to other machines of its day. Nonetheless, its extremely low cost (less than half the price of a Commodore 64) made it hugely successful in the United Kingdom; it was also very popular in the Eastern Bloc and in Brazil, in the form of unlicensed clones. Consequently, the Spectrum amassed a rather vast gaming library.

Название «ZX Spectrum» должно было подчеркнуть одно из главных отличий от его предшественника ZX81 — цветное изображение.

Capable of a mind-blowing 3.5 Megahertz (that's 3.5 MILLION hertz) and boasting 48 kilobytes of RAM (that's 48 THOUSAND bytes), the 8-bit wonder went on to ultimately lose the race against the similarly specced Commodore 64, despite being the easiest to copy and share pirated games. The ZX Spectrum was the first casualty in what would become known as the Console Wars, when boys from all across the world's school playgrounds engage in fair, reasoned and unbiased debate over why their gaming machine is better than their opponents'.
- The Sinclair ZX Spectrum was a popular British computer in the 1980's. The original machine had a rubber keyboard.
- The ZX Spectrum is an 8-bit personal home computer released in the United Kingdom in 1982 by Sinclair Research Ltd. A number of Fighting Fantasy gamebook conversions were made for this platform.
