==Legacy== After almost 20 years, the Microbee brand was re-launched in 2012 by Microbee Technology Pty Ltd, run by a Microbee employee from the 1980s, Ewan Wordsworth.<ref name=about/> The company produced a limited edition (100 unit only) kit, the Premium Plus. The new version was still Z80-based and followed the original two-board design. It had dual-processor architecture, with some enhancements such as floppy emulation of the [[SD memory card]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Premium Plus Limited Edition Kit|url=http://www.microbeetechnology.com.au/premiumpluskit.htm|publisher=Microbee Technology Pty Ltd|accessdate=2017-10-20|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130403065801/http://www.microbeetechnology.com.au/premiumpluskit.htm|archivedate=2013-04-03}}</ref> === In popular culture === In the '80s parody movie [[Kung Fury]], Hackerman is hacking the timeline with MicroBee computers (along with a [[ZX Spectrum]] and a [[Power Glove]]) and Kung Fury himself also rides in the cyberspace on a MicroBee.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kungfury.com/ |title = Kung Fury}}</ref>
