Latest ZXDB Update Jan 7, 2025

Thank you for visiting Spectrum Computing site. This website allows you to search for software and hardware created for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum which is an 8-bit personal home computer released in the United Kingdom in 1982 by Sinclair Research Ltd.

This site uses the popular open-source ZXDB database which was created by Einar Saukas for use by the whole ZX Spectrum community.

Einar and others are actively working on ZXDB and it now includes releases post 2013 (which was the last time new titles were added to WoS), as well as magazine links for Crash, Your Sinclair, Your Spectrum, Sinclair User and many more.

This website also gathers and preserves information and software for other Sinclair machines, including the ZX80, ZX81, Sinclair QL, as well as clones and modern iterations like the ZX Next.

Please note that this site does not support searches for X-rated titles. These titles are included in ZXDB, but for such searches, we recommend using a resource like ZXInfo.
