Classic retro gaming for a low price

The Spectrum retro games console is down to £59.99 at Amazon* — a £30 price cut on this modern recreation of the classic 1980s home computer. For those old enough to know the difference between 48 and 128 models of the ZX Spectrum, this console emulates both!

The console comes with a built-in library of 48 ZX Spectrum titles, including The Hobbit, Manic Miner, and Alien Girl (a shameless riff on the Alien IP that's miraculously evaded a Disney lawsuit). It's an easy way to revisit classic games without needing cartridges, tapes, or technical setup.

What is it? A modern mini-console based on the original ZX Spectrum. It connects directly to your TV via HDMI (outputting at up to 720p resolution), and includes a selection of preloaded retro Spectrum games.

Is this a good price? Yes, £59.99 is the cheapest we've ever seen this console.

Are there any alternatives? Another retro games console representing the early days of video games is the Atari 2600, which you can get for £74.10 at Amazon* this Black Friday (down from £100). However, the Atari is more expensive and only contains 10 games, so it really serves to highlight what a good deal the Spectrum is for those who want those nostalgic gaming kicks.

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
