It was released in 1990, retailing for £99.99 (around $240 USD adjusted for inflation by 2022). Its hardware was based on the then-popular [[systems:amstradcpc|Amstrad CPC Plus]] computer, and so was compatible with many of its titles. It did not have a keyboard, so any keyboard-based titles were lacking controls (but the original computer had a joystick controller which many games used).
