Sinclair Spectrum BASIC

It is possible that the 1982 Spectrum is the most iconic of the Sinclair computers, as much a British symbol as the BBC Micro. It finally brought true graphics and 8 colours to the family, with an again-doubled BASIC compared to the ZX81, curiously reinstating some keywords from the original ZX80 version which had been left out by its predecessor.
