   Sinclair ZX81 Museum

   The ZX81 Museum was set-up to preserve and showcase a private collection of   
   original Sinclair branded ZX81 hardware, software and literature. The museum   
   has since expanded to include ZX81 software from other publishers of the time   
   and a variety of other ZX81 peripherals and reference books. The collection   
   dates from 1981 to 1983 and features the complete Sinclair-branded software   
   series.   
      
   [Ed. note: My first home computer was a Timex Sinclair TS1000, a rebranded   
   ZX81. The chiclet keyboard was horrid, and the system would reboot if you   
   jiggled the 64K slap-on memory cartridge, but being able to write my own   
   programs and run them was exhilarating.   
      
   There were a couple of text space-adventure games, including a complete rip-off   
   of Star Trek and a Rogue-like dungeon game. If you'll excuse me, I'm going to   
   go onto the net and find a Rogue port for DOSBOX...
