When I got mine, around Feb 22nd, I had just moved to a new house and decided that I would finally have a decent retro computer room to display all my collection and with space for projects, I might get involved now and then. It was a road full of bumps, but honest and competent people made it happen. Three years had passed before the ZX Spectrum Next arrived in our hands. Of course, the overwhelming success of the campaign made the idea even more exciting. The Next attracted me more because of the possibility of having a reliable hardware “emulation” machine where I could finally play with Speccy programming and games without using software emulators or precious original hardware. As a “purist” retro collector, I didn’t care too much about a modern computer with modern capabilities but with the heritage of the original Speccy features, almost an alternate reality where the ZX Spectrum had survived and gone through an evolution. However, I remember to tell people that the “Next” part of the project wasn’t that interesting to me. Back in 2017, I was pretty excited about the ZX Spectrum Next crowdfunding campaign and the whole idea of the modern retro computer.
