Tragic news for the whole of VR

Inventor Sir Clive Sinclair, who popularised the home computer (ZX Spectrum) and invented the pocket calculator, has died at his London home aged 81.

Popularised /vr/ favourite computer, the ZX Spectrum.

Singlehandedly saved gaming and destroyed Nintendo whilst riding a 3 wheeled cycle. A loss to gaming and the world.

Goodnight sweet prince.
ZX Spectrum threads will long be admired by everyone
