Happy Birthday, beloved Spectrum! :D

On April 23rd 1982 the late, great, Sir Clive Sinclair released his colour computer, the ZX Spectrum.

It changed everything and brought gaming to the masses in the UK and around the world.

The legend lives on and, forty years later, we’re celebrating the Speccy’s 40th birthday with this collection of modern games made for the classic machine!

Special Effect:

All proceeds will go to the awesome charity Special Effect that helps enhance the quality of life of severely physically disabled people throughout the world through access to videogames.

You can read about some of the amazing work they do here:

The Bundle:

I’ve reached out to some awesome Spectrum game developers who have very generously donated their paid games and tools to this cause.

The bundle is ‘pay what you want’ above $10.00 and we hope you’ll give it a go and have fun celebrating the Spectrum’s 40th Birthday while supporting a great cause at the same time!

Though the vast majority of games are paid, some free games are included. They're ALL fab though :D

Sincere thanks to all the contributors and to you for your support!

Emulators:

You’ll need an emulator to run these games!- Here are a few suggestions in no particular order:

Fuse: https://sourceforge.net/projects/fuse-emulator/?source=typ_redirect

Retro Virtual Machine 2: https://www.retrovirtualmachine.org/en/

ZXSP (Mac): https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24529/zxsp

ZEsarUX:    https://github.com/chernandezba/zesarux

Additional Emulators: https://worldofspectrum.net/emulators/

Some games require the 128k version of the Spectrum to run, so be sure to select that in your emulator of choice! :)

Thank you!

Again, thank you to everyone involved. To the many, many, generous developers for donating their paid games, and to you for supporting the bundle!
