Description
With the ZX Spectrum entering a decline in 1985 Sinclair decided to make an improved version with 128 KB of RAM, despite the decline in sales the Spectrum was still very popular and meant game companies would put the 48K version and the 128K version on the same cassete. In 1986 Sinclair released the ZX Spectrum +2 which had the same motherboard as the 128K version but with an improved keyboard and built in tape deck.
