If you're a fan of handheld consoles and want to try something different, here's something interesting you could look at. An Indiegogo campaign is soon due to launch for a follow up handheld to the Sinclair Vega, aptly named the Vega+.



It'll come pre-loaded with 1,000 different licensed games on launch, dating from around the time when the Sinclair Spectrum was still being made; and will be marketed by Retro Computers Ltd. of which Sinclair Research Ltd. is a shareholder. It uses low-cost components and software to enable to to run the games and priced at an affordable level, as well as other games being available for download for free to the device.



Product development has already completed and a functioning prototype made, so the campaign fundraising is to help the device enter production on a larger scale within the UK. Backers can even receive their own Vega+ at certain backing levels, as well as some special edition device colours being on offer as well as exclusive backer items.
