Once Upon A Time’s Post

Proudly putting the Speccy back on the telly!🕹 Our TV spot for PLAION and RETRO GAMES LTD is now live on ITV4 and ITVX. The Spectrum—a modern 1x1 replica of the 80s computing icon—is back, bringing 48 pre-installed games, downloadable favourites, and coding in BASIC to generations old and new. Our CGI campaign transforms the grey 80s into a vibrant world of programming and play. Huge thanks to PLAION for trusting us with this national treasure. 🕹✨

Such a pleasure to work on this project! The AV team at Once Upon A Time absolutely nailed it! Feels like my career in video-games has come full circle! The ZX Spectrum was the first home computer I got my chubby little hands on back in the early 80's. Spent a good 5 formative years bashing its funny rubber keys and killing joystick after joystick. To re-release it in the form of PLAION / RetroGames' The Spectrum decades later was a real thrill! So interesting reviewing its history and seeing how instrumental it was in establishing the videogames industry in the UK and globally ✨🕹️🌈
