World of Spectrum
World of Spectrum is a website devoted to cataloging and archiving material for the ZX Spectrum home computer popular in the 1980s, and has been officially endorsed by Amstrad which holds the rights to the ZX Spectrum brand. It was started by Martijn van der Heide in 1995 as a website dedicated to hosting Spectrum games, but grew into hosting anything and everything that was remotely connected to the ZX Spectrum.
The site contains an extensive database of information about games, utilities, books, hardware, magazines, adverts and relevant companies.〔''.Net'' magazine, June 2002〕〔''The Daily Mirror'', 23 October 2001〕 In December 2005 ''Retro Gamer'' wrote "World of Spectrum is not just the best Speccy site on the Web, but arguably the best retro resource full stop."〔Retro Gamer, issue 19 December 2005〕 From the FAQ: "'The WoS is the world's biggest and most popular archive of Spectrum related material." As of July 2012, that catalogue includes 24,000 software titles, 1000 hardware items, 1,500 books and more than 350,000 references, which can be accessed using a custom built search engine Sinclair Infoseek. The collection of Spectrum related magazines includes ''CRASH'', ''Sinclair User'', and ''Your Sinclair'', scanned page-by-page.
One of the website's goals is to obtain distribution permission from copyright holders of the software kept in its archives, and has received hundreds of permissions to date. In 2003 the Interactive Digital Software Association filed a complaint against the site for copyright infringement, but this was later retracted.
In August 2013, van der Heide announced to senior staff members that he was getting married and was thus having a sabbatical. He made an official announcement on the site's updates page on 15 September 2013. With this, updates on the site ceased. Updates to the site commenced again on 1 January 2014 but ceased on 5 January 2014.
