SHORT FILMS - Operating Guide / Introducing … the Recreated ZX Spectrum

To coincide with the release of the recreated device we’ve published two short films - one short (around 5 minutes), 

the other somewhat longer. You can view the short films at the following link. They’re also being distributed via the 

associated iOS and Android app and the ONLINE web app. Feel free to distribute it yourself.

Here are the links:
