## Description

Relive the nostalgia of the 80s with this classic Speak & Spell game that helps kids ages 4-9 learn to spell using speech synthesis and multiple engaging play modes.

Review: Ok for young ones - Took me back to my childhood. My son liked this and although he was a bit old for it at 8 he did play on it probably better for someone younger. It is good educationally if you are starting out in school. The screen is ok not as up to date as other screen. Voice isn't that good. Works good and buttons work. Probably could have spent more on a something else and got better for value for money
Review: Love it - Blast from the past. Got my daughter this as I had one when I was young. She loved it. It’s great.

Blast from the past. Got my daughter this as I had one when I was young. She loved it. It’s great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great vintage fun
*by P***E on 17 November 2025*

This is great for your kids if they’re at that early primary stage and learning to spell. Functionally, it does what I remember from childhood. There’s the normal spelling tasks and a hangman game, and probably other tasks that I never got round to trying out (because my youngest kept playing with it!) Not sure if this has the same build as the original from the 80’s, but it does feel a bit on the light and flimsy side. It’s also not been updated in terms of power supply, so you’ll need batteries for it rather than charging an internal battery. The only real complaint I have is that it’s sometimes hard to make out what words the device is speaking. The voice is very much in the style of the original - think the robots from Buck Rogers - and can sometimes blend into background sounds. Oh, and sometimes it feels like you see the same words cropping up repeatedly , especially in Hangman mode. It could really do with some updates, both to the hardware, and the software, but that said, it’s still great value, and the kids love it.
