Comments on Spectacol for Android

★★★★★ peter Time · Nov 18, 2022
Kempston does not work, but cursor works. Has xbox 360 support using android box. Games which work with cursor joystick are 3d tank, the dark, jet set willy, space walk, space racer, sabre wulf and 1942 mission. You can get these games from the game. If you use an xbox 360 wired controller: Hit x and keyboard will be displayed. Left trigger for save state, and right to load state. Start on controller will display spectacle menu.
★★★★★ Matthew Righelato · Dec 20, 2018
A great app, works perfectly on all the games I tried, playing through blue stacks on my laptop, just missing the rubber keys! :)
★★★★☆ Christopher Hood · Feb 22, 2025
Probably the best Spectrum emulator. The only issue I have is that saved games/data always vanishes, so I always have to start from scratch.
★★☆☆☆ Ian Low · Sep 6, 2019
The Kempston joystick option has stopped working on my tablet making many games unplayable. On my android box the app does not recognize any joy pad. Have tried reinstalling but no good such a shame a top emulator is now ruined.
★☆☆☆☆ Emanoil Daneliuc · Aug 21, 2022
It's a broken program. No documentation on how to use the initial menu (i.e. choose 128k, etc.), on how to get back to "K" or "L" mode (when stuck on direct input). I suspect functionality is incomplete, too: not possible to do the above. "Beta" was not supposed to mean "incomplete". Or if yes, it should be mentioned where describing it. It's a pity, because it looked promising. Uninstalled and don't have time to install again.
★☆☆☆☆ Steve McGarry · Sep 29, 2019
Can't believe this tripe is being showcased with high ratings, basically it inserts a text overlay over the entire screen which makes the entire opus of text adventures unplayable. What happened to grest emulators like Marvin. In the words of the Hobbit on, who made this Shire?

Kempston does not work on Bluetooth joy pad
