L'8 luglio 2015 è stato presentato ufficialmente a Highgate, Londra, la nuova console di videogiochi ZX Vega. Basato sull'architettura del Sinclair ZX Spectrum, il Vega è sviluppato e prodotto dalla Retro Computers Ltd (www.zxvega.co.uk), un'azienda fondata da Clive Sinclair, Chris Smith, David Levy e Paul Andrews ed è stato finanziato attraverso una campagna su Indiegogo che ha raccolto circa 150.000 sterline, il 50% in più del traguardo inizialmente fissato. Io sono stato invitato all'evento, unico italiano presente, in quanto nella dotazione iniziale di 1.000 giochi compare anche il mio Cousin Horace, uscito nell'ottobre 2014 (per saperne di più: www.alessandrogrussu.it/diario-2014-10-01.html).
Nella foto: il picnic a Parliament Hill, gentilmente offerto dagli organizzatori - comprendente persino una bottiglia di champagne a testa! - conclude degnamente l'evento. Il monumento è la Stone of Free Speech (Pietra della Libertà di Parola).

Based on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum architecture, the Vega is developed and produced by Retro Computers Ltd (www.zxvega.co.uk), a company founded by Clive Sinclair, Chris Smith, David Levy and Paul Andrews, and it was funded through an Indiegogo campaign which raised about £150,000, 50% more than the initially set target. I was invited, the only one from Italy, because my Cousin Horace, released in October 2014, has been included in the initial set of 1,000 games coming with the console (more on this can be found at: www.alessandrogrussu.it/diario-2014-10-01.html).

I have replaced the original ROM in this 464 with the same ROM you would find in the 6128. This gives you a few extra BASIC commands.

The Multiface was a hardware peripheral released by Romantic Robot UK Ltd. for several 1980s home computers. The primary function of the device was to dump the computer's memory to external storage, and featured an iconic 'red button' that could be pressed at any time in order to activate it. As most games of the era did not have a save game feature, the Multiface allowed players to save their position. However, this feature also allowed users to create backups or pirate copies of software. Copyright infringement was discouraged, yet possible in earlier models, but was made more difficult in later models by requiring the Multiface to be present when re-loading the dumps into memory.
