00:12For a whole generation that's still one of the greatest sounds in gaming
00:17Transporting them back to a golden age
00:20When the UK's first mainstream home computer arrived
00:23Bringing with it thousands of ground breaking games
00:28Released in just a few short exciting years
00:38But there's been something missing
00:40Hitting virtual keys on a glass screen
00:43Or pressing hard buttons on a modern keyboard
00:46Just isn't how these games are designed to be played
00:49And really does stop us from enjoying them authentically
00:51So wouldn't it be great if there was a device that allowed us to experience these games
00:56As they were back then
00:57But without the hassle of having to get out an old Spectrum
01:00And load up tapes to actually get to play them
01:10Well, it's here
01:23The recreated ZX Spectrum represents a new standard in retro gaming technology
01:30Based on the exact dimensions of the original Speccy
01:34It features the same 40 rubber keys
01:36And replicates the look and feel to an uncanny degree
01:43Do you think just from looking from the outside here
01:45You can kind of tell the difference between which one's the original and which one's the recreated?
01:49No, not at all
01:50Have a little feel of the keys
01:52See if you can feel any kind of difference in the tension there
01:55No, they feel exactly the same
01:57Yeah, it's really hard to tell
01:59Today we expect to take our entertainment with us and access it via our phones, tablets or computers
02:04But that's something no other retro company has really addressed or recognised
02:09They keep creating devices that need to be hooked up via the mains or with one of these, a TV
02:14Not so with the recreated ZX Spectrum
02:16It will work with any screen
02:18Be that a phone, tablet, computer or television too
02:22Simply pair the recreated ZX Spectrum with your device
02:26Just as you would a Bluetooth speaker
02:28It couldn't be quicker or easier with no fiddly cables to break or lose
02:33So use it on the train
02:34At the cafe
02:36Wherever you want
02:38The recreated ZX Spectrum is powered for hours by just two AA batteries
02:48So what about the games?
02:50Well, this is where this really shines
02:52The recreated ZX Spectrum has an ever-expanding library
02:56Of all the titles you actually really want to play
02:59There'll be 50 games at launch
03:01Including classics like Manic Miner
03:04Jet Set Willy
03:05And Chucky Egg
03:07But by the end of the year
03:08There'll be hundreds to download
03:09And all are legally licensed
03:12You even get Sinclair Basic
03:14So you can experiment with writing your own games
03:17Or typing in listings from old magazines
03:20The key to the recreated ZX Spectrum's superior longevity
03:24Is its unique design
03:26Instead of the games running on a processor
03:29Within the recreated ZX Spectrum
03:31They're stored within the recreated ZX Spectrum's app
03:34Which runs on your phone, tablet or computer
03:36Just download the app once
03:38Or for Mac and PC
03:40Simply log onto our website
03:41And away you go
03:43And when the app is updated
03:45With new games or features
03:46As it will be regularly
03:48Then your recreated ZX Spectrum
03:50Has access to all that new content
03:52So it never gets old
03:54And like the original
03:55The recreated ZX Spectrum is an open platform
03:58So anyone can release games for it
04:02And that's only half the story
04:04By simply switching modes
04:06You can use the recreated ZX Spectrum
04:08As a Bluetooth or wired keyboard
04:10With all your modern devices
04:12Adding some retro chic
04:13To the rest of your life
04:15Type emails quickly
04:17Turn heads at work
04:18The recreated ZX Spectrum is useful
04:22Even when you're not playing
04:23Your favourite retro games
04:28The original ZX Spectrum
04:30Was a genuinely innovative device
04:32And we were determined
04:33That the recreated ZX Spectrum
04:34Should be equally innovative
04:35Whilst maintaining
04:37That authentic gaming experience
04:41The recreated ZX Spectrum
04:44For a totally authentic
04:46Retro games playing experience
04:48Wherever, whenever
04:49And on whatever device you want
04:54And on whatever device you want
04:59And on whatever device you want
05:02And on whatever device you want
05:03And on whatever device you want
05:03And on whatever device you want
05:03And on whatever device you want
05:03And on whatever device you want
05:04And on whatever device you want
05:04And on whatever device you want
