alt Hacker NewsI visited this ZX Spectrum museum in this summer: https://loadzx.com/en/
So strange to stumble upon this blast from the 80s in a small town in the middle of Portugal. But I think this reinforces the fact that the Spectrum was to Europe what the C64 was to North America.
Anyway, wonderful memories in there!
The Speccy was very popular in Spain (and I'd assume Portugal too). As well as -probably not coincidence- in South American countries.
Arab countries & Europe's Eastern block each have their own computing histories that's very different from the usual US-centric tale.
