The updated version of the classic computer will support 720p HD output via HDMI, and comes with four USB ports for controllers and joysticks. Multiple save states will be available for each game, alongside a rewind feature, CRT filters and even basic programming functionality. Most important of all, however, is the fact that The Spectrum recreates the iconic rubber keyboard, complete with fully working keys. This means The Spectrum is perfect for playing everything from platformers and beat-em-ups, to old-school text adventures and RPGs. If your favourite game isn't available in the launch line-up, it's worth noting that The Spectrum allows users to add their own games via USB, which means you should still be able to play the likes of Jetpac, Knight Lore and Dizzy, even though they're not pre-installed.
