You are the young Clive Sinclair, you are 18 years old (is 1958) and you are about to make the first big decision of your life. This is a tribute for Sir Clive Sinclair, inventor, genius and creator of the ZX Spectrum.

You can play by selecting options, as if it were a game-book. A choice-based little adventure with dialogues, 5 characters, 6 different scenarios and detailed graphics.

The game was made 48 hours after Sinclair's passing in september 2021.  Later, in 2024, the 128K version was made, with better graphics, music and sounds, thanks to the new Furillo engine, the MUCHO128K, which was built from Jari Komppa's original MUCHO

The game is inspired by real events and is a tribute to Sinclair. A shortfilm was also filmed (which will be seen shortly in frankapilla.com) with real actors; parts of the shortfilm have been used to create the game trailer. We thank the film crew and actor Martín Chamizo for playing Sinclair.

To make this little game, a documentation effort has been made. It is based on real events although the dialogues and character plto are a work of fiction in the script by Sequentia Soft.

First part of three. Sequentia Soft.
In memory of Sinclair.

Special dedication: 

My father passed away the same day as Sinclair, and it was my father who started me into the Spectrum hobby. My first Spectrum 48 K was a gift he gave me and since then we talked about that computer for many years. In addition, my father was also an inventor as a hobby, so I have a special, nostalgic and memory-filled relationship between Sinclair and my father. This game is not only dedicated to Clive Sinclair, but also to my father.

THE DONATION IS APPRECIATED, it is the engine that drives creating more games for the ZX Spectrum. It's a wonderful hobby that I do when I have time. The donations I receive are spent investing in other friends' games or books about the Spectrum.

You can play  in ZX Spectrum emulator or in real computer.
