Recreated ZX Spectrum brings classic gaming to modern devices, capturing the charm and simplicity of the original with a user-friendly interface and a vast library of games.

This is the official companion app for the Recreated ZX Spectrum, the authorized, full-size replication of the renowned 1980s personal computer, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.

The most iconic ZX Spectrum games, 'Chuckie Egg,' 'Jet Set Willy,' and 'Manic Miner' are exclusively available on the Recreated ZX Spectrum platform.

Initially, the Recreated ZX Spectrum companion app (along with its online web version accessible at RecreatedZXSpectrum.com) will feature 'Chuckie Egg,' 'Sinclair BASIC' for programming purposes, and a substantial game collection. Moreover, subsequent updates to the apps and online platform will introduce more games and applications.

Additional games and applications from third-party providers will also be accessible. The curated list of games and applications for the recreated device is accessible at RecreatedZXSpectrum.com and will be regularly updated to accommodate new releases in the future. Third-party games can be located on the App Store by searching for "Recreated ZX Spectrum."

The app offers standalone utility without the Recreated ZX Spectrum, utilizing touch controls. Users are advised to switch from 'original game controls' to 'iDaptive game controls' within the app when using it independently. It also includes detailed information about the device and purchasing options.

About the Recreated ZX Spectrum online web app: All games and applications within the online web app (compatible with Macs and PCs) are provided free of charge but only work with the Recreated ZX Spectrum device.

I telecommute from UpdateStar’s Berlin office, when I am not working remote as a digital nomad for UpdateStar. When I'm not analyzing the latest software updates, you can find me exploring new cities, immersing myself in local cultures, and discovering innovative tech trends across the globe.
