HANDS ON REVIEW AND UNBOXING OF THE SPECTRUM COMPUTER!
42Here it is, the Collieuk / Inept Reviews Unboxing video for the new Spectrum computer by Retro Games. This plug and play device replicates the original rubber key ZX Spectrum and comes with 48 games. This is the first time I've done such a video in my 17 years of doing reviews and videos! Here I open the box for the first time, have a quick look at what's inside and give the computer a quick play. I then come back to it and give it a second opinion after testing it out a bit more and adding new games to the machine as well as mentioning about updating the firmware, bios etc.
The initial idea of the video was to do a few short recordings on my phone and whack them up the day after I got the machine. Unfortunately it wasn't very interesting and I was busy with other things so now I've added some extra elements to the video which took way longer than I anticipated. I've never done a video of this sort before so would really enjoy your feedback and comments.
I will probably do some follow up videos about the machine in the new year as it's a great bit of kit and will probably stay a part of my gaming set up for the foreseeable future. Do you guys have any games you recommend adding to the machine? Let me know.
