Retro Computers is backed by Sinclair Research, the company founded by ZX Spectrum inventor Sir Clive Sinclair. Like the original Vega, the handheld Vega+ has been unveiled as an Indiegogo project, which -- as with all crowdfunding projects -- means there's no guarantee it'll ever materialise. The portable's predecessor did make it to market, however, so the Luton startup at least has a track record this time around.

For £100 you can back the project and reserve a Vega handheld in either blue, red or white. An extra £75 will upgrade your backer reward to the limited "BLACK" version, which also includes a tour around the company's factory in Nottinghamshire. As for the console itself, well, the details are a little scarce at the moment. Retro Computers has shown off some renders -- but no working product, notably -- which reveal a basic D-pad, four circular face buttons and three "secondary action buttons." Along the top you'll find a microSD card slot for loading additional games, volume buttons and a headphone socket that doubles as the TV connection port.

It certainly looks the part, and Retro Computers says it has a "fully working prototype waiting to go into production." If you can't wait that long, there's always the Recreated Sinclair ZX Spectrum, a Bluetooth keyboard that syncs with iOS and Android devices.
