In the US, the Sinclair computers were marketed under the Timex Sinclair name [1]. One of these, a TS2068 color model, became my first computer on which I used a Basic compiler to program Conway's Game of Life at unprecedented (for me) speeds.
I just sold my TS on eBay for just under the price I bought it for in 1983.

- pjmlp 8y agoNot only in US. Portugal had one of the Timex factories producing those computers, so we had quite a few of them across the country. My first owned computer was also a TS 2068, bought alonside the ZX Spectrum emulation cartridge. The extended BASIC was much better, and the three channels sound chip was quite nice, sadly most of the time the emulation stayed inserted, because there was hardly any 2068 specific hardware around. The SAM Coupé years later was also a very nice machine, but in the end the Spectrum variants ruled our 8 bit market.
