SINCLAIR ZX SPECTRUM VEGA HANDHELD PORTABLE

ItвЂ™s been designed by Rick Dickenson, who worked on the original Sinclair computers back in the 1980s. Sir Clive Sinclair says: 'The present surge of interest in retro products inspired me to plan the Vega+ as a handy games console which can be played anywhere'.

SINCLAIR ZX SPECTRUM VEGA HANDHELD PORTABLE

The portable games console has a built-in LCD screen (but can still be connected to your TV if you want to play it on there) and comes with over 1,000 games built in, with another 14,000 tiles available to download. I'd really like to know the reason behind the recent change in management.Retro Computers, led by Sir Clive Sinclair, last year resurrected the Spectrum in the form of the Vega, and this year itвЂ™s following up that low-cost games computer with a handheld model - the Vega+. When we look back on it we'll understand that they asked for money far too soon and didn't appreciate just how much it would cost to make something like this.

People put too much faith in a team without a working prototype. If such a handheld is so easy to make, why not have a rough demonstrable prototype ready? And with a team like this, I would say the onus is even higher.

When it comes to crowdfunding, I think at this point there's very little excuse to not have a prototype when you approach the public for money. I know (think I know?) this group made that little plug&play ZX Spectrum clone so it seems like they were experienced and that's why people put so much trust in them.Д«ut ever since I first glanced at this project, I've had really bad vibes. I stayed out of discussing this because the Speccy community is something I have no experience with so my opinion would be misinformed.
