I have completed it.

I consider myself a 'retro-gamer' (though I know that's a debatable term nowadays!), but I'm interested to see how many people spend >21 hours a week on it.. I'm nowhere close that that much...!

[Edit: I guess it might include people doing blogs, reviews, regular social media posts about Speccy stuff etc]

@Morkin,

Just had a look, and so far it's just over 20% of respondents spending 21+ hours on retro computing per week.

Not really, it uses Microsoft BASIC, has a dedicated video chip, has a different memory map. Basically the only thing that is common with a ZX Spectrum is that both use a Z80. But then again, many other home computers also use the Z80…

Step up to red alert. Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb :dance
Looking forward to summer later in the year.
