Retro Games Ltd  has now released a maxi based on the wildly-popular-in-the-UK ZX Spectrum platform, supporting 16K – 128K games and featuring a fully working ZX Spectrum-style keyboard.

Spectrum

History

This fun, quirky, and extroverted machine brings back the joy of accessible pick-up-and-play games, offering an experience that modern gaming has lost.

With its timeless aesthetic and vibrant personality, The Spectrum isn’t just a replica of the iconic Eighties home computer; it’s a work of art that delivers a nostalgic, yet ever-relevant gaming adventure for everyone. Relive The Magic.

The Spectrum connects to your TV via HDMI, displaying a 720p picture.

It emulates both the 48 and 128 models of Sinclair’s famous home micro, and will enable players to rewind gameplay, create save states and apply on-screen filters.

You can also load up your own Spectrum ROMs using a USB thumb drive.
