ZX Spectrum handheld smashes £100,000 funding goal in two days

Remember that new ZX Spectrum video game console we told you about yesterday? Well, it's already smashed its £100,000 ($156,477 USD) crowdfunding goal on Indiegogo. Barely 48 hours have passed since the campaign went live, but already the first 1,000 Sinclair Spectrum Vega systems have been funded. That means the all-in-one controller and console is no longer just a pipe dream, with the first units scheduled to reach backers by April next year. If you're interested in claiming one, but missed out on the first "limited edition" batch, creator Retro Computers has added a Kilobyte Plus tier that'll put you first in line for one of the next 3,000 units. The company says they'll go into production roughly two months after the first run of consoles have been delivered to backers.
