God I'm old. I played hero's quest: so you want to be a hero before it was remade with a point and click interface.
Heh, good old CGA chipsets  |

Which one? You know MAME is free, right? You can play with your cursor keys if you don't have a PC controller. |

| I'm a vintage gamer who played Atari back in its glory days, but I can't understand why other people from that era get all excited about a bunch of blocky pixels and barely any sound and only maybe three stages of difficulty. Some really old games (Atari, Colecovision, Intellivision) are entertaining for maybe a few minutes but I can't see myself spending hours in front of the screen. Usually my mind starts to wander after the first minute or so. A lot of older action games like Sonic were awesome but often drove me crazy with frustration because they were so hard, like when I got to the Wing Fortress Zone in Sonic 2, and kept plummeting to my untimely death if my timing was off by a nanosecond. A lot of older games don't have continues or save points and I was lucky not to dissolve into tears if I finally got to the last level boss after about 3 grueling hours of game play only to run out of lives and have to start all over again! There are a lot of older games I do like, such as Bubble Bobble, Q*Bert, Mario, Pac-Man to name a few, but it annoys me when classic game fans trash all modern games. |

NEStopia (NES Emulator)
Project64 (N64 Emulator)
You'll have to search for the games ("ROMs") on your own.
You're welcome
BTW, It is good to see younger gamers still interested in the games I played when I was a kid. (That was an old man statement, wasn't it? I feel like an old man now.  ) |

| Well I'm not really a "modern era gamer" as I was born and raised during the time of the older consoles, but I vastly prefer the games of the SNES and n64 to the games of now. So little originality and fun nowadays. |

True. Although I would argue that neither came close to the NES in originality.
Nearly every genre or long-running series started on the NES. |

I'd disagree, the majority of old NES games originated in the arcades.
Highly unlikely, but did anyone here have an MSX?
I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but I know a lot of people play NES/SNES/GENESIS/MEGADRIVE emus to play arcade conversions, when they could just play the actual arcade game instead.
I'd love to try that N64 emu for Sin and Punishment, but I doubt I'd be able to find a decent controller for it. |
