I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. Can you recommend a good Spectrum emulator that will work on this? I'm OK on Linux, but don't know where to look for one on Windows 7. Cheers. :)

Hi RyoHazuki,

All I did was Google 'Spectrum Emulator for Windows 7 64 bit'

and this was the number 1 return site: (sub-page)

PS As I've said on other replies - Google/Bing or whatever search engine you prefer using is your friend!

Shucks! Ghozer is quicker than me (that's probably because it's in his bookmarks!)

My favourite 'free' spectrum game of all time was on SU - the kamikaze bear and the crates which could be used to crush the chasing characters - basically pacman rewritten - the bear was so Kute!

I remember 'Bear a Grudge' from one of the SU covertapes, it starred Kamikaze Bear in a Space Harrier style game. Ace. :D

Obviously I Googled it and found a few. Sheesh, I might look daft...! I was hoping for some forum members to be able to expand on their experiences of the emulators and recommend the best one from that. I've never heard of ZXSpectrum4. Didn't want to go downloading stuff willy-nilly without a bit of feedback.

Ah well. Never mind. Thanks anyway.

Can't remember which Speccy emu I used on PC, I use the DS for Speccy emulation now. Cycle-perfect emulation, 1:1 pixel ratio, all models supported AND you get the rubber keyboard on the touch screen. :D

Again, yes I know that site, but there's quite a few to choose from and none of them specify W7. You have to remember A) I've been using Linux almost solely for about three years and only just got W7, and B) I was hoping to hear of your experiences (and reminisces :D).
