Well take a wee look at this.
Very excited to have a new Speccy mag on the scene, especially from the creator of the awesome Freeze64.
Absolutely bowled over at the potential of our game being the cover star of the first issue!

Regarding that B&W photo I had posted about a girl and her first Speccy, if you were wondering about the book on the library counter... It's "Ontdek de ZX Spectrum", a Dutch language translation of Tim Hartnell's "The ZX Spectrum Explored".
Of course, you can find it here:

Of historical interest is that other releases existed as well, in the US and in France.

So, let's get cracking by creating a toy application by sending this prompt to the LLM.
What a lovely piece of ZX Spectrum pixel art.

I knew the ZX Spectrum sold very well (supposedly 5 million, all models combined), but I also know there were countless clones especially in Eastern bloc nations. Does anyone know how many units were made when counting all these variants?
