ZX Spectrum: A visual tour

ZX Spectrum: A visual tour 

In 1982, the home computing market exploded halfway around the world. In countries such as the UK and Spain, this happened largely thanks to the ZX Spectrum microcomputer, from the British company Sinclair Research. ZX Spectrum: a visual tour focuses on this marvellous machine, its concept, design and programming, but above all on what really kept it alive to this day: video games. To do so, it makes a visual tour of almost 100 video games in a period of time that spans from the release of the ZX Spectrum to the present day, with the comments of its producers, programmers, graphic designers and illustrators, as well as evaluations and reviews from national and foreign magazines, many of them never before published in our language. From La abadía del crimen to Los amores de Brunilda, passing through Arkanoid, Batman, Mad Mix Game, Manic Miner, Navy Moves, Nebulus, R-Type, Tetris, or the recent Castlevania and Ninjajar! Includes prologue by Ricardo Cancho (Kantxo Design) and farewell by César Astudillo (Gominolas), from Topo Soft, and unpublished comments by the protagonists of the past and present.
