Unlike previous emulations, The Spectrum is the first to faithfully replicate the design of the iconic 48k ZX Spectrum while including 48 pre-installed games. The design of the original machine was seen as unique. While machines like the Commodore 64, BBC Micro and ATARI 800XL shared a common aesthetic that became synonymous with home computers, the ZX Spectrum had a look and feel that had not been seen before, or indeed since. The Spectrum aims to bring back that nostalgic feeling to retro fans with an authentic looking, sleek, minimalist design worthy of any display cabinet.
Widespread accessibility and affordability of the original ZX Spectrum helped breed creativity, with games being made by small independent companies as well as bedroom developers from a variety of backgrounds. This creativity led to a diverse library of software including fun and quirky games – many of these games have been pre-installed on The Spectrum including fan favourites Manic Miner, Horace Goes Skiing and The Hobbit.
“We’re thrilled to launch The Spectrum and deeply appreciate the enthusiastic support from the community. From hidden gems to a vibrant user culture, this project truly feels like Christmas 1982 all over again,” said Paul Andrews, Managing Director at Retro Games Ltd.
