Sinclair ZX Spectrum

The ZX Spectrum is an 8-bit personal home computer released in the United Kingdom in 1982 by Sinclair Research. Referred to during development as the ZX81 Colour and ZX82, it was launched as the ZX Spectrum by Sinclair to highlight the machine’s colour display, compared with the black and white of its predecessor, the ZX81. The Spectrum was released as eight different models, ranging from the entry level with 16 KB RAM released in 1982 to the ZX Spectrum +3 with 128 KB RAM and built in floppy disk drive in 1987; together they sold over 5 million units worldwide (not counting clones).

The ZX Spectrum has a lot of disk and tape images available, and the main page which lists them all may take extra time to load. We have also listed these downloads by letter or type for faster access. You can browse and download most available games for free below, but you will need an emulator also to play them. For ZX Spectrum we recommend https://fms.komkon.org/Speccy/ but you can use any emulator of your choice and even original hardware if you have the know how!
