Indiegogo backers of the ZX Spectrum Vega Plus
project have ready much given up on receiving the portable games console which
successfully funded and raised over £ 500,000 thanks to more than 4700 backers
back in March 2016. The ZX Spectrum Vega Plus was expected to ship during the
summer of 2016 but has missed deadline after deadline for one reason or
another.
The good news is the company has started shipping
the ill-fated ZX Spectrum Vega Plus portable console to early backers that
opted for a “Blankety Blank” version without any games installed.
After a number of years of waiting Retro Computers
eventually confirmed that it had started shipping an initial batch of 400 units
to “Blankety Blank” backers on July 26th 2018. “It has been a well documented
long and difficult road for the company,” it said, ” Well, we have now proved
all negative claims to be false.”
Let’s hope the company can add a little extra
packaging to keep the consoles from breaking during transit after this long
arduous road is now coming to an end.
