Retro Sinclair ZX Spectrum handheld console to ship in February after series of delays

Retro gaming fans are getting good news just in time for Christmas, as the long-awaited Sinclair ZX Spectrum Vega+ handheld gaming console has now been given an official launch date of February following a number of delays.

Announced in February this year, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum Vega+ is a product of Retro Computers, with an endorsement from none other than Sir Clive Sinclair himself. He emerged as a key figure in the U.K. gaming industry in the 1980s, following the success of 1982’s 8-bit ZX Spectrum computer, which served as the country’s main competitor to the Commodore 64. The ZX Spectrum never officially made it across the pond to the U.S. (some folks imported it or later used computer emulators to play its games), but with an almost tangible wave of nostalgia sweeping across the gaming realm in recent years, this handheld will enable people to experience the games in a new way.
