The makers of a handheld ZX Spectrum console say the device is now set for a February launch following delays.
The makers of a handheld ZX Spectrum console which has the support of Sir Clive Sinclair have blamed issues with the device’s buttons for its delayed launch.
The retro gaming console received almost £500,000 ($0.6m) in crowdfunding earlier this year and was due to ship in September.
Retro Gaming Computers Limited has told the BBC the first batch will now ship in February 2017.
It features 1,000 pre-installed games.
The firm had said in an update on its Indiegogo page titled A Pain In The Buttons that testing had been “trickier than previously suspected”.
Many backers leaving comments on the fundraising page had requested more information about what was happening.
“We expected teething trouble, being a new product, but we should be kept up to speed on all developments as after all we are the investors/backers and have made the project possible in the first place,” wrote one by the name of John Smith.
