**The Curious Case of the Zx Spectrum**
In a pixelated dream where shadows play,
A curious contraption, the Zx Spectrum lay,
Tantalizing tones and spectral light flares,
Whispering secrets of ones and of squares.
“Play me, dear child!” it beckons with glee,
Yet lo! What strange creatures do dance on the screen,
A gobbledygook code, a jumbled delight,
Where sprites come alive in the dim ghostly night.
Beware, dear adventurer, for traps lurk below,
With every new level, you may meet your woe,
For behind every byte lies a riddle to crack,
And perhaps, on the morrow, you shan't wander back.
