In addition to that, Sinclair's computers would be called 'home computers', as they were small enough to be treated as home appliances when all other computers of the era required small cranes to be moved around and large rooms to be operated from. By doing this, the ZX80 was catalytic in igniting the video game revolution, as people would now have the right tools to help them turn their imagination into video games. Sir Sinclair managed to keep the cost of the ZX80 low by providing the abso
