The Rubber Keyed Wonder is an adoring portrait of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum


'The Rubber Keyed Wonder' is an affectionate, if one-eyed, look at the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.

If you have fond memories playing Manic Miner or Jet Set Willy on your family TV, you’ll love The Rubber Keyed Wonder. He was fairly bad at business, and his refusal to listen to other people wound up costing him both of his companies, once during a fight with the UK’s National Enterprise Board in 1976 and once again in 1985. But there’s also plenty of time-sucking montages of playthrough footage from Spectrum games that sap the film’s momentum in favor of squeezing the audience’s ‘member berries.
