I’ve never played ZX Spectrum games on real hardware before, and since The Roaming Spectrum is here with me, I thought I’d take the opportunity to play some classics with you. First we play "Manic Miner" (by way of the included ZX Dandanator Mini), then the sequel "Jetset Willy" (on the included Speccy ROM+Diag). Then we take a break to look at a couple new gaming ZX Spectrum magazines: FreezeZX and BreakSpace. Finally, we look at my small collection of ZX Spectrum cassette games and successfully load and play "Tranz Am" on it.
