Some impressive coding and pixel art there.  Imagine what coders could do with a 28Mhz, 256 colour Speccy with hardware sprites and hardware scrolling, plus at least 1Gb RAM.

Another good video from The Nostalgia Nerd as he reviews the ZX Spectrum Next:

Think I'm going to have to dust off the Z80 for dummies and have a bash when I finally can get the retro man cave sorted out.
