Retro Games Ltd.
has officially announced The Spectrum Collector's Edition, a meticulously crafted, limited-run tribute to the ZX Spectrum, one of the most influential home computers of the 1980s.
Following the success of The Spectrum miniaturized console, the British company now offers enthusiasts an opportunity to own a unique white variant inspired by the ultra-rare version produced at the Timex Factory in 1983 to celebrate one million Spectrums sold.
Unveiled on Saturday, November 15th, The Spectrum Collector's Edition is a comprehensive homage to Sinclair's legacy, featuring a host of accessories and enhancements unavailable in standard releases.
Each Collector's Edition bundle includes a faithfully recreated Quickshot II joystick, an updated spiral-bound manual, and a special commemorative issue of Crash Magazine.
Additionally, the package boasts a classic-style thermal printer and a companion thumb drive containing Fusion Paint, a custom-developed application for creative digital expression on the machine. The hardware itself supports both Spectrum 48 and Spectrum 128 emulators and comes pre-installed with 48 games, allowing fans to revisit classics such as Manic Miner, Ant Attack, Head Over Heels, and The Hobbit.
Users can further personalize their experience by side-loading additional Spectrum ROMs via USB.
Modern features round out the package, with 720p HDMI output, selectable aspect ratios, CRT filters for authentic retro visuals, and save state support ensuring both fidelity and convenience for contemporary users. Among the new inclusions, the replica printer authentically reproduces whatever is displayed on The Spectrum’s screen onto thermal paper—echoing the original ZX81 peripheral from 1981.
This device, when paired with the included Fusion Paint-enabled thumb drive, expands the creative possibilities while channeling the nostalgic charm of Sinclair's legacy. Pre-orders for The Spectrum Collector's Edition are available exclusively through the PlaionReplai website, priced at £199.99.
This Collector’s Edition carries a premium compared to last year’s standard model, reflecting its enhanced accessory set and unique commemorative appeal.
