This is an outstanding app for playing retro spectrum games. There’s a good choice of classic games available to purchase as IAP and some others included as free. Now it just needs a way to import Speccy games.

This is brilliant, especially now I can add my own collection into it! So easy to use, I love it. Thank you!

Thank you for adding the ability to side load games to the ZX Spectrum emulator. Would be great to be able to send games directly via the share sheet option within iOS as this would get round the issue of side loading games using a MacOS.

Way back when Spectaculator first hit the store, I spend so long adding my own hands. Fully custom to fit in with the games I could get within the app. I loved it. Then the App Store got sick, and that ability died. Thank you Jonathan for bringing it back again now the App Store is (a little) better again. Not actually worked out exactly how to add my own games yet, though I am lying in bed. If it’s the same way as before, I’ll have some work to do this weekend.

Buzzing to see a modern update. This was always the best Speccy Emulator on iOS. Proper support for the original devs and pad support built in. Looking forward to some of those original features coming back. You know what I mean 🥳
