ZX Spectrum and Pssst

Does anyone remember what a Spectrum is? And the games on the Spectrum?

I recently came across a  remake of the game Pssst .

Waves of memories flowed. I remembered my box with an iris and 3-4 then seemed to me ordinary audio cassettes for a tape recorder, brought to me by my parents in the month of November, at the height of the school quarter.

Naturally, the quarter was finished with triples, but I was respected in the class and I was at the top of bliss.

My parents escorted me to school, went to work, and I, secretly from them, returned home to play Pssst, Arkanoid, Tetris and played, and played, and played. Parents came back, cursed, shouted, took away a toy - I sat down to do homework, in a hurry, was mistaken.

In the second quarter, parents promised a lot of new “tapes”, if I finish a quarter without triples, I graduated with 2 triples, but I still received “tapes” for the New Year. Eh, it was the same time.

The game was made by the guys from Kaspersky, here is what they write (which attracted me to the memories):

On New Year's Eve, the most striking and amazing events of past years are always remembered. This year, for some reason, we remembered those distant times when the most popular computers were ZX Spectrum, or, as they were called, Sinclair. This was the era of computer games, which were distributed on simple audio tapes, because instead of drives, CD- and DVD-drives, ordinary household tape recorders were connected to the ZX Spectrum, and TVs instead of monitors.

Ah, these games are for the Spectrum! .. Modern youth spoiled by powerful computers, broadband Internet access and 3D-technologies cannot even imagine what kind of games they were ...

Is there still nostalgic for Speccy? For those games? I suggest here to recall all those games that you played 10-20-30 years ago. Does anyone play them now? Maybe not even on the Spectrum.

Maybe someone still has the Spectrum itself?

PS: I thought to post it in “ World 8 bit ”, but I was afraid to be the first.
