The Adam was an attempt to follow on the success of the company's ColecoVision video game console. It was available as Expansion Module #3 for the ColecoVision, converting it into a home computer, and as a standalone unit. As such, it had the benefit of being entirely compatible with all ColecoVision games and peripherals. The computer came with 64 KB of memory, a tape drive for a proprietary medium called Digital Data Packs, a daisy wheel printer, and productivity applications, along with two DDPs for SmartBASIC and Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom Super Game. It was released in October 1983 with the initial price of $700.

The '''[[wikipedia:ZX Spectrum|ZX Spectrum]]''' (Pronounced ZED-ex) is an 8-bit home computing platform developed by Sinclair in 1982. It was one of the three major 8-bit home computer platforms that dominated the market in the United Kingdom during the 1980s, alongside the [[Commodore 64 emulators|Commodore 64]] and the [[Amstrad CPC emulators|Amstrad Colour Personal Computer]]. The "Spectrum" is in reference to its color display, an innovation from the previous model, the [[Sinclair ZX81 emulators|ZX81]].{{PlaceholderInfobox computer|title = Sinclair ZX Spectrum|logo = Sinclair_spectrum.jpg|developer = [[Sinclair Research]]|type = [[:Category:Computers|Computers]] |release = 1982|discontinued = 1992|emulated = {{✓}}}}
