No, it was the iconic computer that brought gaming to the masses and it was manufactured in Dundee. The ZX Spectrum allowed people to program and create their own games, kick starting the city's video games industry in the 1980s. Now a film charting the women that made the computers and the impact they had will premiere in Dundee this weekend. Lynn Rankin has more. The one millionth ZX Spectrum rolls off the production line in Dundee, watched by its inventor. For Sir Clive Sinclair, the skills of the army of women that built the computers was key to its success. We have the our computers built by you here in Dundee because you're the best people as far as we're aware to build them. And I'd like to thank you very much on behalf of Singularity. The machines manufactured at the Timex factory is now the focus of a new film. We go to a shop and pick it up, you unbox it, you plug it in. First released in 1980, two 100, 000 spectrums were made every month and millions were sold worldwide, creating a computer revolution. One thing we've Sir Clive was that he was determined to keep manufacturing within, you know, the UK and the whole concept that. Sir Clive had was to get something that was affordable, just ��100, and it would make it a a genuine option for families to consider bringing a home computer into the house. It's a legacy that led to Dundee developing a thriving games industry that's now benefiting students at Abertay University. David Jones worked in the Timex factory, used the redundancy money from that to buy his famous Amiga computer, and then that became history because Lemmings was born and GTA was born. These these types of stories female labor in Dundee and can be inspirational, can be something that can lead more girls to to think of games as something for them, to think of games development as something for them. That they're not excluded from this that they're granny might have built the computer and might have been able to to fix it. Hideki doubt that it was first produced in Dundee. The Zedex Spectrum was discontinued, but the lasting impact on the city is still as captivating as some of its games. One of the first things I got up on the screen was he sounds really likely to circle it literally just draw a circle and I thought why did that on my telly and. Yeah, I was just blown away by that Danny Thompson Decathlon. Yeah, they're bashing button or joystick destruction simulator that should be called. Yeah, how many joysticks were were ruined over daily Thompson Decathlon, but great game. The film The Rubber Keyed Wonder premieres at the DCA on Sunday. Lynn Rankin, STV News.
