The Sinclair ZX80 was one of the most popular home computers of its time. Selling around 50,000 units, its popularity led to a computing boom in the 80s. It was manufactured by Timex at their factory in Dundee, which was closed in August 1993, after 6 months of striking and industrial action.
In the video the game Donkey Kong is running on a ZX80.

I was a wee bit young for the ZX80 but its memory lived on through my beloved ZX Spectrum.
