The ZX Spectrum is an 8-bit personal home computer released in the United Kingdom in 1982 by Sinclair Research Ltd. The early Spectrum models' great success as a games platform came in spite of its lack of built-in joystick ports, primitive sound generation, and colour support that was optimised for text display: the hardware limitations of the platform required a particular level of creativity from video game designers. Most Spectrum software was originally distributed on audio cassette tapes. The Spectrum was intended to work with a normal domestic cassette recorder, and despite differences in audio reproduction fidelity, the software loading process was quite reliable, if somewhat slow (by today's standards).
You can enjoy the programs/games, free on-line, no download needed, here: http://www.TurismoAssociati.it/lang1/games.html
The "modern" browsers, strangely will block the Qaop/Java - ZX Spectrum emulator released under the GNU GPL licence (a Java applet which can be embedded on a page, but can also be run as a simple application) that will help you play these games:
