Fans of the retro games behold – The Sinclair ZX Spectrum Vega+. Sir Clive Sinclair and Retro Computers Ltd announce the launch of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum Vega+ handheld console.

It is very simple to operate the ZX Spectrum Vega+, just switch on and start to play. Play it on either on the built-in colour LCD or plug in a suitable cable and connect it to your TV (PAL or NTSC).
