THE RECREATED SINCLAIR ZX SPECTRUM GAMES ANDROID
If you’re a crazy person you can even use it as a normal keyboard on your PC, although using it as such on an iOS or Android device is a lot more useful and the makers boast it’s the most responsive physical keyboard available for phones. But it is worth it because the device itself is a considerably better made piece of kit than the Vega.

You can also use a PC monitor but the whole set-up seems needlessly restrictive to us. Why you’d want to do that we’re not sure but the only option at the moment for using a television is to stream it to a smart TV.
THE RECREATED SINCLAIR ZX SPECTRUM GAMES BLUETOOTH
It’s essentially a Bluetooth controller, but for some reason it’s obsessed with getting you to play the games via your phone or tablet – rather than a TV. Just as it implies it’s an actual recreation of the original computer, with all the keys and even the ability to program in BASIC. The Vega’s rival came out this week and takes an entirely different approach to reliving your childhood (or your dad’s at least). Vega does what it says on the tin, but none of it particularly well and all of it for an outrageously undeserved price. But if that’s the case the lack of curation on the ones that are included is baffling, as it’s missing dozens of major classics and is filled with tons of no-name games we’ve never heard of. You do get those 1,000 games but these are essentially free anyway, as we’ve been advised that it’s perfectly legal to download and play (by putting them on a SD card and slotting it into the Vega) any of the games from World of Spectrum. It all seems exceedingly cheap for what is basically an emulator in a box, which would be fine if it was actually cheap, but it’s not. The picture quality is poor whatever you seem to do and the whole device appears to have been designed without any awareness that HDTVs actually exist nowadays.
THE RECREATED SINCLAIR ZX SPECTRUM GAMES TV
The Vega plugs directly into your TV via a composite cable, but there’s no HDMI option and not even a power plug – just a USB socket that never seemed to work properly when plugged into our television. A fourth is used to bring up a menu and an onscreen keyboard. There are another three ‘auxiliary’ buttons beneath them but they’re tiny and not suitable for action. These are made to look like the old Spectrum keys but they’re not as spongy and insubstantial as they used to be. It’s not a very ergonomic or well-made gamepad though, but instead a cheap-looking slab of black plastic with a D-pad on one side and four buttons placed rather awkwardly on the right. Instead it’s basically just a custom gamepad with 1,000 built-in games. As you can see it takes a fairly liberal approach to the Speccy’s ’80s aesthetic and doesn’t try to replicate the keyboard or any of the ordinary computer functions of the original. There must be some demand for these machines because although it only came out on August 24 the Vega is already sold out, and they’re not expecting stock back in until the end of this month. This is because the Recreated ZX Spectrum online web app can only be used with the recreated device.Ĭomments and questions would be welcomed by.
