I know, I know,.. this post could or perhaps should be elsewhere ... but saying that ... and considering the Gaming focus,.. I just figured Here would be more noticeable than somewhere like The Orphanage

Seen that the other day, and for a tiny moment I thought about getting it, then I shook the nostalgia off. Considering I have a 128K +3 in the shed or attic (cant recall which) in the original box with the manual, but would need an old crt to use. Plus I downloaded some zx emulators a few years ago and played some of those old favorites: Rex, Chuckie Egg, Firelord, Uridium, Jet Set Willie, Operation Wolf, Cybernoid, Knight Lore, Dizzy games etc.

Doesn't anyone make a small/cheap flat-panel display that would work with old units like those?
Assembly language programming should be fun. That's why I do it.

There Are some modern screens available with in-built TV tuners, which would obviously require an RF connector for Antenna connection.
There are also Some that feature a Video input via the typical RCA connector, perhaps some with 3.5mm jack.

Not sure of any with both.

The Modern 'Spectrum' has 720P HDMI output :)
