Would you recommend? I was thinking it’s a good present for my sis and bro in law!

Ignore my last reply. Argos now showing stock again.

Excellent thanks! Just ordered one! I have fond memories of my sister’s Spectrum - I loved Horace Goes Skiing. 👍

Yehhh welcome to retro geek club 😂. That games pre loaded into the new version, you’ll be able to get horace down that mountain again. 🎿

Sorry I forgot to say you may need a controller too. https://retrogames.biz/products/thegamepad/

Hehe thanks! Excellent, I look forward to playing some Horace! My sister also loved Ground Attack but I don’t think that’s on there?

Ohh! I was thinking we used to control the old one on the keyboard! Does this one need a controller?

Hi 👋 . No controller necessary because I think most games can be keyboard controlled. But a USB controller may be better for some games. For the games not pre added. If they’re on ZX Spectrum games sites (I can send link) you can download onto USB stick to transfer and play on the machine. :)

Absolutely. Although I’m not sure stores have any left, think pre orders cleared stock.
