JSSpeccy

What JSSpeccy actually is

JSSpeccy emulates the 48K and 128K Spectrum with accurate timing and colour clash, and ships with a menu of games you can load straight from the page. Tape loading, the keyboard overlay and the rubber-key layout are all handled properly.

Why it is worth your time

The attribute clash is faithfully wrong, so sprites still smear colour across the character grid exactly as they used to.

Common questions

Is JSSpeccy free?

Yes. JSSpeccy is free and does not ask you to register or hand over an email address before you can use it.

How long does JSSpeccy take?

One quick round, then you can leave. We file it under "A minute" — a ZX Spectrum in your browser, loading noise included.

Does JSSpeccy work on a phone?

JSSpeccy really wants a mouse and a wide window. It will load on a phone, but the experience is built for desktop.

What kind of site is JSSpeccy?

We list it under Pixel Nostalgia — old software, running again, in a tab. The attribute clash is faithfully wrong, so sprites still smear colour across the character grid exactly as they used to.
