Warajevo was a ZX Spectrum emulator made in 1993 during the Bosnian War by Samir Ribic and Zeljko Juric. It was created in an attempt to provide nostalgia and escapism from the horrific circumstances they were surrounded by after the duo were disappointed by the Roman ZX emulator. The developers only had 2 to 3 hours a night to work on their emulator due to a low energy supply. Zeljko worked on the emulator at home, while Ribic worked on it at an army camp using a computer connected to a car battery. The latter computer would turn off whenever someone used the coffee machine, which eventually led to its hard disc being destroyed. At one point Ribic risked his life walking through a river bed while dodging bullets to find the last Spectrum pirate in his town, who lived in one of the most dangerous areas. The first version of the emulator would be released in 1994, one year before the war ended. Juric and Ribic would survive the war, and continue working on Warajevo after peace.

The ZX Spectrum is more widely remembered today as a video game console rather than its originally intended purpose as an affordable computer for word processing and real-world problem-solving. Hardware creator Sir Clive Sinclair reportedly considered games to be "fundamentally unserious" and was horrified that the computer he invented was becoming primarily seen as a gaming platform.
