Not that it matters. We don't know what any of these games are. The fact that the Spectrum is a complete non-entity for U.S. gamers, combined with the fact that Alten8 itself is British, leads us to believe that those ESRB ratings are more the result of a boxart template than of any intention to release the game outside of Europe. ESRB searches for "Spectrum" and "C64" bear out this theory; Alten8 has not received ESRB certification for either of these games.
Too bad. We'd like to try some "Speccy" games and see what it was like to be a British gamer in the '80s.

My curiosity may lead me to import these, if the price is right.

Im a british gamer who had a ZXspectrum in the 80's
Had the 48 then the 128 ,thats KB baby.
I hope that they have a better list of games for the DS because the PC listing the link takes you too is terrible.
There are/were some classic games (albeit with the terrible graphics that the machine was limited to) unfortunately it seems that none made it onto this list.
Your better off going with the homebrew versions and playing the REAL classic speccy games.
