Upgrade your Sinclair ZX Spectrum with the ZX-VGA-JOY Interface. Enjoy crystal-clear VGA output on modern monitors plus built-in joystick support for the ultimate retro gaming experience.
Remember the first time you fired up your Sinclair ZX Spectrum?
The squeal of the tape loading, the burst of colour on the screen, and the sheer joy of discovering a whole new world of gaming right in your living room.
Fast-forward a few decades and, while the magic is still there, hooking up your trusty Spectrum to today’s TVs isn’t quite as simple. Blurry signals, awkward converters, and screens that just don’t do justice to those 8-bit classics can take the shine off the nostalgia.
That’s where the ZX-VGA-JOY Interface comes in.
A Spectrum Picture Like You’ve Never Seen Before
Plug your Speccy straight into a VGA monitor and prepare to be amazed. Those familiar loading screens, vibrant sprites, and chunky graphics look razor-sharp, just as you remember them – only better. It’s like dusting off your old cassettes and seeing them with fresh eyes.
Joysticks at the Ready!
Back in the day, the Kempston vs Sinclair joystick debate divided playgrounds. With the ZX-VGA-JOY, you don’t need to worry – it brings built-in joystick support, so you can dive straight into your favourite titles with proper arcade-style control. Manic Miner, Jet Pac, or Daley Thompson’s Decathlon – they all feel just right again.
No Fuss, Just Fun
One of the joys of the Spectrum was its simplicity. The ZX-VGA-JOY keeps that spirit alive – no soldering, no complicated setup. Just plug it in, connect your monitor, grab your joystick, and you’re ready to relive those long evenings battling through Saboteur or exploring Atic Atac.
