A particular favourite with this reviewer, and the number one 8-bit home computer in the UK, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum or Speccy was launched in and became an instant success in its home country. It sold for half the price of its nearest rival, the C64, and came out just as the British home computer market was booming. It was the right machine at the right time, and spawned an enormous third party software market, much of which still exists today in the form of British game companies such as Rare and Code Masters.
There were about 10, game releases for the Spectrum during its lifetime. It's now come out of Beta so it's no longer free, but there's a free trial, and there are additional hints on how to install and run Speccy on your phone on a special S60 page.
Feedback about Speccy should be left at a dedicated Google Group , and the developer really does take notice of it so don't hesitate to let them know how it runs on your S60 device. For those who don't have 3rd Edition devices, Spectrian is an excellent S60 1st and 2nd Edition-compatible Spectrum emulator , and there's a UIQ version too. Spectrian is a very polished commercial product, it's a shame there's no 3rd Edition version available yet.
While it never quite caught up with the C64 or Speccy in its home territory, it did still do rather well and it was standard practice for 8-bit computer games to be released on C64, Spectrum and CPC. Just like the C64 and Speccy, there were many magazines and books devoted to using Amstrad computers. However, it's still very much in the early stages so you shouldn't expect it to work perfectly. Launched in America in , the ColecoVision console was intended to compete with the hugely successful Atari ColecoVision used the latest technology and had far superior graphics to the , allowing it to run arcade game conversions that were much closer to the originals.
There were about games released for the ColecoVision during its lifetime. Any feedback about ColEm should be posted to the author's Google Group , and is much appreciated.
As with Speccy, you can get further instructions for how to install it on your S60 device on a specially written S60 page. Its launch occurred in the aftermath of the disastrous American Console Crash which had virtually wiped out the US games console industry a couple of years earlier. Nintendo somehow managed to turn things round for the American console market and soon became a household name in the USA. It didn't do as well in Europe though, as consoles were still unpopular there because most European gamers preferred using home computers such as the C Production of the Famicom continued in Japan until , believe it or not.
You can download it and get more information about it from the vNES website. It's free to try, but you have to pay for the full version. You can download a demo and purchase the full version from the official website. One of its chief features is support for multiplayer games through bluetooth, so you can have several people taking part in the same emulated game on several different phones at once. However, due to the complexity of emulating the SNES hardware, the games can run rather slowly on 1st and 2nd Edition S60s, so it's probably worth going for the 3rd Edition version if you can.
There's also a version called vSun Plus which is faster than vSun but does not emulate sound, and is compatible with fewer games. Along with Sony's Walkman, the Nintendo Game Boy laid the foundations for handheld devices in general, as consumer electronics had previously been considered something restricted to the home and car. The Game Boy was also notable for proving that raw technical power doesn't win in the portable gaming world, as it was technically already outclassed by the competition when it launched in The Atari Lynx was a rival console which had a screen that was bigger, brighter and in colour, and made the Game Boy's graphics look very poor indeed.
However, it was the Game Boy that took off while the Lynx was forgotten, and a similar fate awaited all of the other more advanced devices that tried to compete with the Game Boy throughout its amazing nine year lifespan. The Game Boy's superior battery life and wider choice of original games seemed to always beat off the competition. In a slight update, a colour screen, was added and the new system was named the Game Boy Color.
You can find out more information and download vBoy from its website. You can download the free demo or purchase the full version from the official website. The Nintendo GBA was launched in as a proper next generation replacement for the ageing Game Boy Color hardware which wasn't really that different technically to the original Game Boy. The Game Boy Advance had three iterations, all identical in terms of gaming hardware but with slightly different external features such as battery life and screen size.
