Google celebrates 30th anniversary of the ZX Spectrum | The Verge
Those younger readers among you may have looked at this morning’s ZX Spectrum Google Doodle with confusion. The front page of Google UK is adorned with a relatively tiny Spectrum-themed doodle depicting St. George slaying a dragon (it’s also St. George’s Day today). The image’s size of 256 x 192 pixels is the maximum resolution the Spectrum could output, and it’s rendered in the computer’s splendid 8-bit color. But why is the ZX Spectrum worth celebrating?
