| Sir Clive Sinclair: Computing pioneer dies aged 81
It is with a sad heart that we report that Sir Clive Sinclair died this morning.

Sir Clive's products included the ZX series of computers and his ill-fated C5 electric vehicle.

Jet Pac coming to the Oric!
In 1983 Ultimate Play The Game released the famous game Jetpac for the ZX Spectrum and VIC-20, with the BBC Micro version released later in 1984.
