Sinclair Spectrum The games are in a tape format with extention .tap . Some games might work on 16K or 48K Spectrums, but benefit from the better sound capability in the 128K, so try to emulate that if possible. Windows The recommended emulator is Spectaculator, http://www.spectaculator.com/ Simply install it. Once launched, press Close if a window pops up. Select the 128k model by selecting Control -> Model (Ctrl-W). To open a .tap file, select File -> Open (or CTRL-O) and double-click on the .tap file. To select a joystick, Tools -> Options (Ctrl-Y), and then joystick. Unix The recommended emulator is Fuse, http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pak21/spectrum/fuse.html MacOS Try MacSpectacle, http://emulation.net/zx/ Amiga The recommended emulator is X128, http://www.lagernet.clara.co.uk/x128.html Unpack the emulator and the rom files in the same directory. If your Amiga is slow set frameskip to 2 or more (using X128Prefs) to speed things up. After having started the emulator, press F7 to select the .TAP iimage and then select "Tape loader". The menu will load, press a number to select a game. F4 lets you select joystick type for those games that support a joystick. F10 exits the emulation.
