The ZX Spectrum was often seen as the computer of choice during the early 1980s and lasted most of the decade that followed. It made sense for Sega games to be brought to the system.

Though it struggled for the most part, [[U.S. Gold]] kept trying to bring it the latest arcade games, even when the arcade hardware that powered said games was far more advanced than what the ZX Spectrum could offer. Whereas it did mean games such as ''[[Power Drift]]'' were almost unrecognisable, the fact that these cassettes were being sold very cheaply kept the platform alive far longer than expected.

The ZX Spectrum is an 8-bit home microcomputer released by Sinclair Research in 1982 as a successor the the ZX81 and ZX80.

The Spectrum was the most successful home computer in the United Kingdom (where it was predominantly sold) for most of the 1980s, with over five million units sold (not including Spectrum hardware clones). Over 24,000 software titles have been released for the platform, including about 10,000 games,[1] of which over 2,000 were published games.[2]

For information, see ZX Spectrum.
