Emulators are nice things.

They enable users to play games on their PCs which were previous only accessed from a monstrous arcade console. All I need do is click on the MAME icon and I'm back in the early 1980s, spiked hair and a pocketful of quarters. Except now I can restart by hitting a key.

Current favourites include:

  • Galaga
  • Mappy
  • Ms Pacman
  • Pacman
  • Zaxxon
  • Q*Bert
  • Junior Pacman
  • Gyrus
  • Xevious
  • Atari Tetris
  • Centipede
  • Frogger
It's a wonder what can be done in DOS when you think about it - don't knock it!
