goldenegg Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Wow! $300,000 raised in 3 days on IndieGoGo for the handheld Speccy (200% of the goal) ... https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-sinclair-zx-spectrum-vega-plus-console Mike's jealousy will drive him straight to the bottle when he hears about it! Having Sir Clive Sinclair himself as part of the team helps I think. I'm very interested in this, but I'm waiting to see if the exchange rate will come down before I support the project. I might even wait until it actually comes to market at the end of the year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flojomojo Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Pffft no cartridges. I'd like to see one in person, the quality of the LCD screen makes or breaks handheld systems, in my personal tastes... The Spectrum used cassette tapes. I sure hope no one wants to bring that crap back. There are lots of ways to play Spectrum games on a handheld. For £99, the screen on this had better be something special. Since I'm an American, I have no particular nostalgia for Speccy stuff. The Spectaculator emulator is more than enough for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want people to see this and I won't be posting it again: I've been pestering them across Twitter and Coleco Holdings, the rights distributor for the Coleco name, have completely denied Pat and Ian's claims. I am not saying that I believe Coleco Holdings, but they need to comment and show otherwise. I made this account so people could see it.

Pipercub Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Cassettes are cool, I just re The Spectrum used cassette tapes. I sure hope no one wants to bring that crap back.There are lots of ways to play Spectrum games on a handheld. For £99, the screen on this had better be something special.Since I'm an American, I have no particular nostalgia for Speccy stuff. The Spectaculator emulator is more than enough for me. Cassettes are cool, just restored an 82 Brat and part of that was the original cassette deck, I had long since gotten rid of all my cassettes so I bought box of 70's-80s metal and Jimmu Buffett on ebay and its just fun. Check out this guy's channel, he reviews vintage audio gear and other stuff, but check this video out about cassettes: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Stay tuned for more news!" is not a convincing counterargument; it's holding your hands over your ears and saying "I can't hear you!

I am just miffed that they are now also complicit in the fraud. :-/ The honest thing would be to investigate it and/or show people the accusations are unfounded. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flojomojo Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Dare them not to delete it while you're at it. Can't stop the signal. "Your information is inaccurate" is insufficient proof, and "just wait for the Kickstarter" is no better than "your check is in the mail." They need to step it up if they are to be taken seriously. They have less than zero credibility. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did delete my comments and blocked me from posting on their page on Facebook, however. Edited February 19, 2016 by DerekRumpler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaybird3rd Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I'll just leave this here... That's great! I think I like it even better than my Aquarius Alpaca prototype. EDIT: Wow, did I just see the same loose RGB converter board that John Carlsen had sitting next to the power supply on his kitchen table workbench?! Very impressive attention to detail! (reuploading one sec) Well, that's a relief! When I saw that the video had disappeared, I was afraid at first that Mike Kennedy had it taken down! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the tweet they chose to respond to and it was directed at RetroVGS/Coleco Chameleon. I sent a neutral tweet directed at them that they chose to ignore.

It's a useful little device for repairing arcade boards. You might also see my custom JAMMA tester beside it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
