Sinclair ZX Spectrum targets retro fans — and U.S. gamers — with a new handheld console

A little over a year after reviving the ZX Spectrum brand with a microcontroller computer that plugs straight into your TV, Sir Clive Sinclair and Retro Computers have returned to Indiegogo to crowdfund the next incarnation of the retro games machine, and this time he’s bringing a handheld console to market.

For the uninitiated, Sir Clive Sinclair was instrumental in launching the U.K. gaming industry back in the 1980s with the popular ZX Spectrum computer, which was the main competitor to the Commodore 64 in Great Britain. We’ve seen a wave of nostalgia across the gaming realm in recent times, so it’s perhaps not so surprising to see the return of Sinclair with yet another console. Retro gaming is also a growing market, with publishers releasing collections and remasters of older games. Even GameStop, the largest gaming retailer in the world, is also selling older games.
