While it's true for the PC-8801, the PC-88VA and PC-98 are able to pull some really nice action games:

Unless you have the monies, emulation is the only option in the west, shipping fees for computers as heavy as the PC-88(VA)/98(21) + the mandatory monitor + cables & keyboard are really high, and customs from all around the world don't like people importing stuff from Japan, so they'll tax you to death.

Anyway, that's for the nip computers, for the ZX spectrum, it's easy as fuck to find, and you can just feed it the tape files on your modern PC by playing them as sound files and redirecting your line output to the tape input of the Speccy with a single jack cable. Be sure to choose either a Speccy 48k or a Speccy 128k though. As for speccy emulation, I don't think it can be that hard, you just need to find the ROM out there and load tape files on it.

I don't really have a favorite demogroup, but I particularly enjoy late 80s/early 90s Amiga demos, so here's a list of groups I enjoy:
Sanity, Kefrens, Phenomena, Tristar & Red Sector Inc., Paradox, Wild Copper, Crusaders, Scoopex:
A few demo/intro/cracktro I enjoy:
