Software I like #6: Spectrian

(NOTE: this is part of the “Software I like” series)

Spectrian is a ZX Spectrum emulator for Symbian (Series 60 and UIQ) mobile phones.

There’s not much to say, since it works perfectly. :) Among its features, it emulates almost every Spectrum, from the 48k to the +2A (not the 16k or the +3, though), at full speed, including the Speccy 128k’s sound chip. It’s really like having a Spectrum inside your phone. There are thousands of games freely available at World of Spectrum. And no, I don’t work for them, nor is this an affiliate link. :)

    Hi, does Spectrian run on the Nokia 6630? I have a 6600 and am upgrading, so would like to know if I can still use Spectrian. Thanks, Daren

    Yes, it does. :)

    That’s good news. I read your article on the 6630, saying it was pretty fast compared to the earlier Series 60 phones. Games on Spectrian run fairly smooth (fast) on my 6600, but not quite as smooth as on a real speccy. Do you notice a big difference with games on Spectrian on the 6630?
