well, its kind of alive.
There are a few demoscene groups still making Speccy demos, and the Amstrad Em@iler plus comes with speccy games.

The speccy had a certain low-tech charm, I suppose, and some nice games.

I won't say anything about its relative inferiority compared to other machines of the era, though :)

ZX 48k

sadly the tv-out broke and I tried to re-solder it myself a /long/ time ago. It may work again one day.
