'''The Spectrum''' is a video game console by [[Retro Games]].

It is a full-size system with a replica of the original [[ZX Spectrum]] keyboard.

The Spectrum can be switched to load into full mode, or the carousel menu system.

==Features==
It contains forty-eight built-in games. The [[Fuse]] [[emulation|emulator]] by the Fuse team runs [[BASIC]] and the included games.

The power is provided by a standard mini USB plug and wall adapter, and the video is output through HDMI.

==Technical specifications==
The system is more powerful than the system on which it is designed.

It uses an [[Allwinner]] R16 "system on a chip". The system specifications are as follows:
*1.2 Ghz dual-core Cortex-A7 CPU (central processing unit)
*500 Mhz dual-core Mali-400 ARM GPU (graphics processing unit)
*512MB RAM (random access memory)
*512MB Flash storage

Since it uses a common architecture, the system can be modified to add additional games, simply using the supplied mini-USB cable and open-source software.

==Games included on The Spectrum==
The following table lists the games included in The Spectrum.
