Remarks:
A handheld version of the ZX-Spectrum Vega with LCD screen, designed by Rick Dickinson. In March 2016, this project raised £512,790 through crowdfunding at Indiegogo. In August 2018, after several missed deadlines, about 200 units were finally delivered (out of almost 5,000 units sold). It turned out to be the cheapest possible piece of crap, running a poorly ported version of FUSE emulator, containing only 18 games (out of 1,000 promised titles). The company went bankrupt shortly afterwards, leaving behind over £1,500,000 in debts.
