[2013-02-01] A Google User: Too fast Don't know if I'm doing something wrong but every game runs stupidly fast on HTC one s and couldn't get controls to work not that I had much of a chance seen as enemies shot onto the screen and killed me within seconds due to the speed. I wish it worked better because apart from the speed it looks good |
|
[2013-01-30] A Google User: Great idea but... It made my nexus 7 crash so if you are using a nexus 7 don't get this app |
|
[2013-01-13] A Google User: Brilliant The Spectrum was my first computer and I loved it and still play the games on my pc, and this fab app lets me play almost all of on my phone and its a free app too. |
|
[2013-01-05] A Google User: Excellent speccy emulator Brilliant spectrum emulator. Brings back so many memories. |
|
[2012-12-13] A Google User: Great Just all round ZX goodness, thank you for this!! |
|
[2012-12-10] A Google User: Superb !!! Not an easy feat the ability to re-create the sights and sounds of a persons childhood but this app does exactly that....brilliant !!! |
|
[2012-11-29] A Google User: ZX GAMES ON Android Good emulator |
|
[2012-11-29] A Google User: The best emulator you can get! You won't find a better emulator out there! I have to say for free you can't have any complaints, I'd gladly pay a few quid for this highly polished app! It's brilliant, easy to use, built in games directory, simple to download roms, shame other emulators out there for different platforms aren't half as good and reliable! The developer has done a first class job and I take my hat off to them for a product I can't fault. If you can remember the spectrum, as I can, this will take you back, enjoy! |
|
[2012-11-19] A Google User: sweet nostalgia it is amazing to have a virtual speccy on my phone. great stuff, thanks. no luck activating the android keyboard on my S2 preventing faster progress through 'The Hobbit' :-) |
|
[2012-11-16] A Google User: Manic Miner rules Really good app only thing is I can't figure out how to delete the games I have downloaded on the app, only ever play manic miner so don't need the rest there anymore :-) |
|
[2012-11-09] A Google User: Ok i know I shouldn't try if idk how BUT c'mon bro SOME instructions would not hurt. I had a rubber zx and loved it please make simpler for you mates here. Just because I'm a noob don't mean i don't deserve to use it |
|
[2012-11-06] A Google User: Perfect A few failures to load games but access to WoS is genius. Use keyboard. A touchscreen is no worse than rubber! |
|
[2012-11-05] A Google User: Best product And best game database |
|
[2012-11-05] A Google User: Execllent The joystick can be a bit unresponsive but this is still a fantastic emulator. |
|
[2012-10-25] A Google User: Me Fantstic! Don't forget to enable there joystick in landscape mode. |
|
[2012-10-25] A Google User: Z80 rulez :-D // Walder |
|
[2012-10-21] A Google User: Perfect, almost! Probably the best emulator available on Google Play! Easy to use and set up, whether adding your own roms or flicking through the World of Spectrum database. The superb keyboard allows me to play text adventures flawlessly on my Acer A700 Iconia Tab! To make it even better, the cheat database is superb and it plays all the standard Speccy Tape formats. The only thing missing is the ability to use a Wii Controller as a Kempston/Cursor joystick. Hopefully this'll be added at some point, but even so, i'll still give this 5 stars! |
|
[2012-10-19] A Google User: Awesome Brilliant emulator. |
|
[2012-10-16] A Google User: Loading games Hi, how exactly do you load games? |
|
[2012-10-11] A Google User: Awesome Simply brilliant |
|
[2012-10-04] A Google User: Zxexcellent Top homebrew thanks |
|
[2012-10-03] A Google User: Good emu The keyboard is tricky to use as its so small. It still loads all my titles and they are quite playable. Setting up the on screen joystick is tricky to. |
|
[2012-10-01] A Google User: tarun bahut kharab |
|
[2012-09-26] A Google User: Excellent Other Emulator developers should take a look at this, it's how it should be done. The ability to download roms directly from world of spectrum is fantastic. |
|
[2012-09-24] A Google User: Great on Nexus 7 Works great on larger screen. Played Skool Daze - superb. |
|
[2012-09-23] A Google User: No sound on infinity pad |
|
[2012-09-22] A Google User: Samsung galaxy ace. Finally got this working. Now i just have to remember how to use this. |
|
[2012-09-21] A Google User: Great, like original. All roms and lots of pokes! Very good! |
|
[2012-09-21] A Google User: Spectral Analysis Easy use. Joystick to keyboard upon tablet turn. Nice integration with World of Spectrum makes ZX programs very accessible. Permanent storage of programs. Search feature for WOS website plus search for unusual titles in Google. Poke enabled. Comprehensive feel. Well done! |
|
[2012-09-18] A Google User: Pathetic Great as long as you don't want to play. Keyboard to small and disappears when you change to side view. Pointless |
|
[2012-09-16] A Google User: Dammit! It would be nice if the games came with instructions, especially those that force you to use the keyboard even though there's supposed to be a joystick option! Plus the one game I reall wanted to play was glitched and wouldn't let me turn left! |
|
[2012-09-10] A Google User: Great.... .... but joystick option keeps resetting back to cursor when loading some games and starting the app. |
|
[2012-09-05] A Google User: Oh the memories! Thanks to the developer for the best Spectrum emulator. Oh the irony of playing a 48k game on a dual core super phone! I love it! |
|
[2012-09-02] A Google User: Great, one or two issues. Amazing amount of work has gone in to this, is really cool, joystick controls just do not properly on some games, also my favourite game is not available, TREX! Is great though, please improve! |
|
[2012-08-31] A Google User: Ace By far the best speccy on android |
|
[2012-08-29] A Google User: Great emulator This is a fantastic speccy emulator and having direct access to WOS is a real bonus. Would have given 5 stars if there was the option swapping the keyboard for a D-pad in portrait mode. |
|
[2012-08-27] A Google User: Good to see keyboard fixed Try doing an = using the Sinclair keyboard! |
|
[2012-08-21] A Google User: The best A phenomenally superb emulator. Loads games straight from the ether. My 30 year love affair with the Speccy continues! |
|
[2012-08-17] A Google User: Works fine. I love it! |
|
[2012-08-14] A Google User: Brilliant I love it, although the controls need to be improved. I haven't been able to play any of the games I've tried so far. They work (mostly, some doesn't run at the proper speed), but I can't operate the joystick. I think it may be related to the display size of my phone (Galaxy Ace). |
|
[2012-08-13] A Google User: Amazing Simply a fantastic speccy emulator port. Works exceptionally well on the nexus 7. Amazing addition adding access to world of spectrum archive !!!. Would like to see some screen scaling options for portrait and landscape and better accuracy with the speccy keyboard. Maybe side by side with display and keyboard on landscape ? Have encountered a few games that do not work, but not a show stopper given the size of back catalogue. |
|
[2012-08-11] A Google User: Installed Have installed it and viewed the keyboard etc. It looks excellent, but I was wondering how you go about installing games and running them. I've looked on the website, but can't find any instructions. Thanks |
|
[2012-08-10] A Google User: Perfect As an emulator addict I would say this is the best one around by a mile. Works almost faultless (one or two failures to load games but always worked on second attempt), plus you can get any game ever made using the built in database. Well bloody done mate, really good job. |
|
[2012-08-08] A Google User: Absolutely the best It would be quicker to list what this emulator doesn't do! Looks awesome, plays awesome and access to World of Spectrum!! Also, it's free and ad-free. Dev,any chance of doing a Commodore64 emulator as awesome as this? |
|
[2012-08-07] A Google User: Great emulator Love it. Best one on the store. |
|
[2012-08-05] A Google User: Best app ever!! Awesome app_perfect for a technophobe like me! |
|
[2012-08-04] A Google User: Much better Well I guess the fact that the speccy can be emulated at all on a phone is cool. I did have a problem with an earlier version that my keyboard didn't do multi touch, but now it does! |
|
[2012-08-04] A Google User: Not great It doesn't work well with the htc desire s. Frequent screen flickering and no on screen fire button. |
|
[2012-08-02] A Google User: excellent app I can finally play all my old games wherever I am... :) |
|
[2012-07-24] A Google User: Leadguitar Works fine on my ip4s.angelo marticio |
|
[2012-07-23] A Google User: Amstrad emu next?? Everything that the update needed really: the main one being now that the keyboard bugs have been fixed - would love the option of seeing the Spectrum keyboard layout when in landscape mode; the keyboard swipe feature doesn't work brilliantly for me & is a bit tricky to work, but not a problem, as just have to hold down the phones menu button to have the Android keyboard be displayed. And finally, bluetooth input support would just about make it a perfectly up-to-date Android emulator! A good job indeed :) |
|
[2012-07-22] A Google User: Best emulator in market Can't really grumble about anything in this emulator: fast, decent joystick control, full keyboard emulation. Awesome app, great job! |
|
[2012-07-21] A Google User: The best just got better The keyboard finally works!!! I've been waiting for that for ages!!! This emulator is simply stunning. |
|
[2012-07-20] A Google User: Wow Superb Speccy emulator! Browsing the WorldOfSpectrumarchive & downloading games directly cuts out the lengthy download & transfer process I have seen with other similar programs. This is a real nostalgia trip and I can't believe how many game names are tripping of my tongue from 30 years ago. Also surprised myself by how many teleport codes from Starquake I remembered. Weirdly some developers like Elite and Ultimate Play The Game titles are conspicuous by their absence (copyright issue?) but can be found on other sites. Glad to see that in the latest update the keyboard mapping was fixed - it was pretty unusuable before this. Totally rocking Viking Raiders, Bruce Lee, Back To Skool, Harrier Attack, Cybernoid and Sentinel, Head Over Heels, to name but a few! Well done dev for this fine app. |
|
[2012-07-19] A Google User: Amazingly awesome Brings back to life a very important piece of my childhood. A thousand times thank you! |
|
[2012-07-19] A Google User: Superb This reminds me of when I hacked into MI6 using a spectrum & kempston joystick. Or was I just playing Mission Impossible? |
|
[2012-07-19] A Google User: Best app ever This is the best app ever; works on Assus TF300T, Samsung GT-B5510 and Sony Xperia Mk16i. It also can connect to wos for a ton of spectrum games! Great. |
|
[2012-07-18] A Google User: Fantastic Works well on Samsung and Asus devices. Brings back my misspent youth...Fantastic! |
|
[2012-07-18] A Google User: New features make Marvin very flexible Thanks for adding the browser features. I can now view files in any folder on the device, which makes it a doddle to navigate the 3k or so games I've got on the physical SD card. No problems on ICS - just tap the folder at the top to browse up to other media in /mnt folder; sdcard, extSdCard, USB etc. Keyboard remap and POKE database are great - no need to try and remember back to 1984 for infinite lives or no collision. Very slick - good work! |
|
[2012-07-18] A Google User: Galaxy note You have the best of all spectrum emulators. Finally perfect keyb working. Reviving 25 years ago, my first computer and basic programming, and the nights with friends playing formula 1. THANK YOU! I WILL EMAIL YOU BUGS I FOUND |
|
[2012-07-18] A Google User: Get it now Marvellous! Best Android Speccy emulator, now with pokes. |
|
[2012-07-18] A Google User: Bellaz Good retro emulator. Makes me feel like am 6 yr old again! Good range of games & programs. Good job developer, very good job. |
|
[2012-07-18] A Google User: Blast from the past :D Fabulous app guys! Just a shame some titled are blocked because of copyright spoilsports! :) |
|
[2012-07-18] A Google User: It is great to play old classics |
|
[2012-07-12] A Google User: Speccy fan This is a great app works fine and smooth on Galaxy s3... Millions of thanks for this one and only emulator. Apple does not have this... Happy Gaming peeps. Please continue your hard work... |
|
[2012-07-11] A Google User: Hi How do i run games on this cheers |
|
[2012-07-09] A Google User: Good emulator but need work on keyboard The emulator works great but the keyboard keys are misinterpreted all the time making it very difficult to really use. |
|
[2012-07-07] A Google User: Galaxy s3 Looks great but keyboard doesn't work properly so can't play games. Joystick in landscape is invisible. |
|
[2012-06-28] A Google User: Boost the max volume I've been trying to load games into a real speccy with a mini amp included, But the max volume on Marvin is too low. Any chance you could offer a volume boost option? Great emulator. :-) |
|
[2012-06-23] A Google User: Useless I get to see a brief flash of a black screen and Spectrum Keyboard before the app quits. Motorola Atrix |
|
[2012-06-20] A Google User: One X / ICS No joystick in landscape mode since I switched phone. Good app though! Love the availability of all the old games. |
|
[2012-06-16] A Google User: BRILLIANT!!!! Have a speccy emulator on my PC and this app is every bit as good, cannot believe this was free, and the World of Spectrum integration is genius, EXCELLENT APP!!! |
|
[2012-06-10] A Google User: Experia s Can't start a game, tried 2 games and won't start in 48k or 128k |
|
[2012-06-07] A Google User: Could be great Amazing concept of linking into world of spectrum, let down by terrible control system and invisible joystick. Kudos to programmer, as it is free :) please the controls and make a 30 something very happy! |
|
[2012-06-06] A Google User: Really great but needs stock android keyboard Really nice app but not for small screens |
|
[2012-06-03] A Google User: Not good on Galaxy Tab 10.1 Graphically this emulator looks stunning but the keyboard keys maping on Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is not working. Press for example keys "i", "o", "p" and it will show letter "p". Same problem is affecting the whole keyboard. Please fix it. |
|
[2012-06-03] A Google User: Samsung Galaxy Note Works fine, loved.manic miner |
|
[2012-05-30] A Google User: Controls! Such an amazing app, but oh the keyboard just does not work well and does not understand what buttons i'm pressing! Please fix so i play Skool Daze! |
|
[2012-05-30] A Google User: Great start. Keybord needs sorting. Great feature to be able to download from World of Spectrum. Keyboard, though excellent for nostalgia, makes for a super frustrating experience if you have to type anything. The joystick isn't much better either. Once this is sorted this will be an excellent app. |
|
[2012-05-25] A Google User: Woo woo Woo woo manic miner |
|
[2012-05-18] A Google User: Brilliant Great app, great memories, great retro. |
|
[2012-05-16] A Google User: Fantastic! Brilliant, and the integration with World of Spectrum is great. Works exactly as I hoped and I've just finished my first game of Tank Trax in over 20 years! |
|
[2012-04-30] A Google User: Great retro app! Almost works like a dream! Occasional crashes, but top emulator in between! |
|
[2012-04-28] A Google User: A few things missing But is the best emulator for the speccy on android. Would give 5 stars if it supported pokes (cheats) as these old speech games are hard! |
|
[2012-04-28] A Google User: ZX Spectrum 48K owner Keyboard is almost useless as the key hit areas do not correspond to the positions of the keys. |
|
[2012-04-26] A Google User: Crashes on loading :( Loads to the keyboard then crashes to phone menu. Phone reset once. |
|
[2012-04-24] A Google User: Great ! Works fine on HTC Thunderbolt and also Galaxy Tab 10.1 |
|
[2012-04-20] A Google User: Nice emulator This is a cracking app, espeially for free. It works brilliantly on my Advent Vega. The best feature is that you can download the entire library of Spectrum games within the app (basically anything that is listed at the World Of Spectrum website). Only niggle is that when using my USB keyboard case, some keys are not mapped correctly and I am unable to get uppercase. But overall, well worth a download |
|
[2012-04-18] A Google User: Relive your childhood! This app is amazing, I've played so many games on it that I haven't played since the 80's. The look, the sounds, the games, it's you're old speccy that's now in your pocket! |
|
[2012-04-16] A Google User: Does not work on tf101 Looks brilliant but keyboard and joystick does not work on my Asus Transformer TF101. |
|
[2012-04-14] A Google User: What Does this work on HTC vivids |
|
[2012-04-14] A Google User: Nice idea Thanks |
|
[2012-04-12] A Google User: Awesome Great emulator, works on my HTC desire, brings back good memories... chaos ftw .. cheers! |
|
[2012-04-11] A Google User: So close to being great If the keyboard was aligned correctly on the Asus Transformer this app would be 5 stars without doubt. The emulation is perfect and the World of Spectrum website integration is a nice feature. Please sort the keyboard so I can complete my trip back to the 80s. |
|
[2012-04-11] A Google User: Not working on Transformer Prime Emulation and integration with WOS is great. Downfalls on Transformer Prime tablet - Landscape mode the graphical joystick and button are not visible - Portrait mode the keyboard does not work I've emailed the developer but have heard nothing sadly - hoping this will be fixed so Transformer Prime owners can get there Speccy fix... |
|
[2012-04-05] A Google User: Marvin The best spectrum emulator bar none hours of fun ***** |
|
[2012-03-31] A Google User: Please fix G2X compatibility Force closes on G2X everytime |
|
[2012-03-30] A Google User: Works well A few odd graphics glitches so far (Kwik Snax), but good speed. On screen keypad should have an option to hide/show as it's often only needed on the title screen of most games. |
|
[2012-03-24] A Google User: Looks promising, but controls unusable on my phone Having compared all the Speccy emulators in the Market this looks like the best one. As others have mentioned, the integration with World of Spectrum is excellent - all the games I could remember were there. Unfortunately the on-screen joystick is invisible and the keyboard response way off on my Galaxy SII which is a shame because this looks like a great emulator. I guess I'll just have to keep an eye out for an update that fixes my problems. |
|
[2012-03-17] A Google User: Sensation xl issues :-( Random crashing & screen flickering on HTC sensation xl. |
