ZX Spectrum 30th Anniversary App for iPad and iPhone

ZX Spectrum Fans revelling in the 30th Anniversary Celebrations of the ZX Spectrum's launch can now enjoy their favourite Spectrum games on iPad and iPhone. Today (23 April) Sir Clive Sinclair released the humble Speccy onto the World. With a nostalgic lump in my throat I remember reading the original 8 bit gaming mags "Crash" and Sinclair User. So I'm sure that you'll be as excited as me to find that Elite Systems has released a bumper pack of the 100 greatest Spectrum games for iOS.
