Happy 30th Birthday - Sinclair ZX Spectrum
iOS Apps ‘100 GREATEST HITS’ & ‘100 GREATEST HITS FREE’ Announced
April 2012
Elite Systems, the long established UK based developer and electronic publisher of games for portable, mobile and other devices has confirmed the Apps (full title, “Sinclair ZX Spectrum 100 GREATEST HITS”) have been scheduled for release during the weekend of 20th Apr, 2012.
Commenting upon the launch plans, Elite’s MD Steve Wilcox said,
“The Apps provide the opportunity to build a collection, of the most popular SINCLAIR ZX SPECTRUM games from the 80s and 90s, in two great ways
1. Download ‘100 Greatest Hits’ to receive BRUCE LEE and to get 100 more classic SINCLAIR ZX SPECTRUM games for NO ADDITIONAL FEE! Includes:
- Manic Miner
- Jet Set Willy
- Chuckie Egg
- and much, much more.
No need to buy additional games:
- BRUCE LEE and 25 separate packs, each of 4 games, included for NO ADDITIONAL FEE!
2. Alternatively, download ‘100 Greatest Hits Free’, to get BRUCE LEE for free and to get 100 more classic SINCLAIR ZX SPECTRUM games for a MODEST ADDITIONAL FEE.
Buy additional games in 2 unique ways:
- 25 separate packs, each of 4 games, available for download at £1.49/Euro$1.59/US$1.99
- all 100 games for a MASSIVELY discounted price (basically the price of a cinema ticket).”
Commenting further upon the launch plans, Wilcox noted,
“The Worldwide release of the Apps will take place in late April to coincide with the 30th Anniversary of the launch of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum home computer. To commemorate this very special event, from 20th-27th April, 2012 only, all 100 games will be available for a sensational new release price of just £5.99/Euro6.99/US$8.99 (iPhone / iPod Touch) £8.99/Euro10.49/US$12.99 (iPad).”
Complimentary copies of the Apps will be made available to media and trade contacts on 18th April, 2012 (or earlier by agreement). A further announcement, including a full list of the available games, will be made at that time and prior to the release of the Apps.
Note: this app will NOT be updated with additional games. It’s being released specifically to celebrate the 30th Anniversary (23rd April, 2012) of the launch of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. If you’re looking for the definitive ZX Spectrum app, to which new games are added every other month or so, then search for “ZX” at the iTunes App Store and then select either ‘ZX Spectrum: Elite Collection’ (for iPhone/Touch) or ‘ZX Spectrum: Elite Collection HD’ (for iPad).
