The Spectrum

Great retro clothes computer, high quality build and great selection of games. Highly recommended.

I have fond memories of playing this in the local shop during lunchtime while at school back in the 80s. There was something about the style of graphics that fueled my imagination back then. This brought all those feelings and memories back.

A great slice of nostalgia brought up to date. It’s a ZX Spectrum that works with modern TVs, showcases a range of classics and adds a sprinkling of modern titles. Not only that but it allows sideloading of game file that you own (legally of course).As with the C64 mini, Atari 400 mini and the A500 mini presentation is good, there are options to emulate CRT monitors, map joysticks and choose the model of machine plus the ability to boot into classic mode.As for the games, a solid selection of bona fide classics many of which were Crash Smashes back in the day. The only niggle being the inclusion of Starstrike 2 when the original was the better (and faster) game. Most people will find something to bring back warm, fuzzy memories of growing up in the 80s. Or you could just bore the kids with “In my day they knew how to make a platform game!” Whilst failing to progress past the first screen of Manic Miner or Fahrenheit 3000 for the masochists out there.

If you can get a spectrum next, get that, but if not, this is a brilliant piece of nostalgia. The rubber keys feel and look just like the original and I love the fact it comes equipped with modern connection ports. I also loved the fact you can boot it to the classic boot screen where you can start coding straight away

The Spectrum is a great reproduction of this classic 80's computer. It has 48 in built games including classics like Manic Miner, The Great Escape, Auf Wiedersehen Monty, Horace goes skiing and many more. The packaging and presentation is really well done, as is the build quality. It has 4 USB ports and additional games can be added via a USB stick, so you can play all your favorites from 40 years ago.It also has a classic mode that allows BASIC programming like the original, so you can 10 GOTO 10 to your hearts content.The only negative is the 5V power adaptor isn't included so this will need to be purchased separately.

The Spectrum is a brilliant tribute to the classic ZX Spectrum. It nails the retro vibe with its rubber keys and built-in games like Manic Miner and The Hobbit, while adding modern touches like HDMI output and save/rewind features.Setup was easy, and the included manual is super helpful. Perfect for retro gaming fans or anyone curious about 80s computing. A fun blast from the past—with just enough future built in.

Very good brings back memories from my child hood and excellent

Retro Games Ltd products are pretty much the very best in build, quality and functionality when it comes to their Retro products and The Spectrum is no different.Many have tried to re-create the Spectrum and failed in various guises from handhelds to black boxes but finally this has been done correctly with this outstanding unit which is a faithful reproduction of the original unit. You can be forgiven for thinking your using the real thing.Its all there .. The quality is second to non, Its pretty much perfect.Sir Clive Sinclair ( RIP ) would most definitely approved.
