DeathAxe Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 I was just wondering how many people know about this sort of thing. It has been my intrest for quite a few years. Emulators enable you to play older games on your pc that were not ment for it. Allsorts from spectrum, megadrive to sega saturn and playstation. The best one though is MAME (multiple arcade machine emulator) emulates thousands of arcade games from all sorts of eras. The games that run on emulators are taken from their original media (wheather it be tapes, carts, discs or arcade boards) and the data transfered to files in which load in the emulator. Legality of obtaining the games is a seperate issue. What old games do you play?
alkatraz Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Sonic (Genesis) Mario (SNES) Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2/3 (PSONE)

sallonoroff Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 I love all the old classics... Chuckie Egg, Ugh!, Donkey Kong, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Road Rash... to name a few. .
Rich Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Dizzy FTW! I have fond memories of saving up all week to go to Micro Fun on Holme Lane every few weeks to spend £2.99 on the latest Dizzy games! That franchise is LONG overdue for a next gen update IMO, as are the Seymour games, remember Seymour goes to Hollywood, Wild West Seymour, Sgt Seymour: Blob Cop, and Stuntman Seymour? Great games, despite the fact that Sgt Seymour was a blatant unapologetic Pengu clone.
NEKRO138 Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 I had a game for my Snes emulator called Packy and Marlon. You had to control a diabetic elephant, guiding him to the right foods. Bizarre.
alkatraz Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 It's not *strictly* emulation as although I *could* run it in an Amiga emulator, there are some ported PC versions... Leisure Suit Larry FTW!! ** EDIT ** I should be more specific: Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards
Rich Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Do you not play "Egghead" Rich? What is this Egghead thing? PM me if you want.
alchresearch Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 A series of egg based games for the Spectrum by Johnathan Cauldwell. Obviously not "Dizzy" graphics standard but good fun. http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0018448
