"how good could the graphics be on this old computer if we use hardware to make them better"
feels like a game with no limits

Isn't that basically what the Spectrum Next is?
Some of the games look fun, but not very Spectrummy.
They should have house rules for games to retain the Spectrum feel, such as your character must not be human and you must feature a Sinclair C5 and/or Clive Sinclair at some point in the game.

I think it was a bit overdone. I did want to see Timex/MSX style hi-colour, that the 128K SHOULD have had originally.
Although the point was to make a modern programmable machine, not a Speccy emulator.
Various kickstarter shitbags have robbed people of their money with that plan already.

I see where you're coming from
But PCs did kind of do exactly that from year dot with interchangeable graphics cards.
In this case I think it illustrates what could have been with a minor tweak in the design phase. The Spectrum Next feels like a total overhaul of a computer so it doesn't resemble what the spectrum stood for; a very budget-conscious computer with corners cut to meet a price point. The Beeb was by no means budget conscious, but its display capabilities felt so weak compared with everything else the computer had to offer.
