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]]'''. The Spectrum was released as eight different models, ranging from the entry-level model with 16 KiB RAM released in 1982 to the ZX Spectrum +3 with 128 KiB RAM and built-in floppy disk drive in 1987; together they sold in excess of 5 million units worldwide, not accounting for the numerous clones. The device was highly significant in British culture, so much so that its creator, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clive_Sinclair Clive Sinclair], was knighted for services to the British industry, in 1983. Spectrum game development continues to this day, with over 100 new releases since 2012.
