The Sinclair ZX-81, the ZX Spectrum's daddy, was released back in 1981 and was probably the first home computer capable of playing some decent games. It was after all the home of classic maze game 3D Monster Maze (read an excellent making of... article over @ EDGE) and brilliant Sabotage. The machine featured some lovely black and white ASCII graphics, 1 whole Kilobyte of memory and one of those dreaded membrane keyboards.
The ZX-81, despite its now laughable capabilities, is quite a rarity and usually sells for over 60£, 120$ or 85€, which means that this boxed Sinclair ZX-81 auction @ ebay is a definite bargain. Happily, seller ships worldwide.
