Reviews
potentially my favourite wallpaper cos I grew up with the Spectrum. However it crashes trying to load spectrum live cam (Xperia Play)
Been using this for wallpaper for a while now and found it to be great fun. Ideal for anybody who longs for the simpler times of the ZX Spectrum (ok programes didn't always load but it was fun to watch them try). Always been a reliable app for me and the recent fixes that have made the live camera mode more stable are great. Go give it a try!
I totally love this wallpaper... Thanks
Great app, works well and the speccy loading screens bring back old memories :-)
Very cool wallpaper. Love the built in loading screen downloader! Seems to be quite cpu intensive though.
Awesome wallpaper confirming my Speccy heritage!
