Playing Old Games on a new computer It's a scream!

Admit it - you feel like having a good game of Super Mario or Dig Dug leaves as you did "back in the day." We all do it because it does play some of the best memories. But it is not easy to play these games, as we are accustomed to. If we kept the systems and cartridges from the past in perfect condition, our only trip to this jagged pixel is called the lane by a little known gem of emulation.

Through emulation, you can play to make some of your favorite games from the past, including games for Commodore, Atari and Nintendo. Emulation refers to the ability of a program or device to imitate another program or device, and it tricks the software to believe that a device is really some other device. It's can emulate for one computer to another type of computer. For example, there are programs that allow an Apple Macintosh to emulate a PC. 1

Everything, what gobbledy gook does not really mean too much until you find the right emulator, your computer can play all the old favorite games. And the news gets even better. You can download emulators from the Internet - for free. You may Amiga, Commodore, Game Boy, Playstation 1 and Nintendo emulators plus you can use the games (ROMs) that these machines play download.

Our favorite emulator is the emulator ZSNES. This special program emulates the old Super Nintendo console and you can learn more about it by visiting http://www.zsnes.com. This program comes with an extensive help file and guide you through the process of setting up a copy on your own PC. At the very least, your system is a 486/100 processor, 14.5MB of RAM, a VGA card and a Sound Blaster or 100% compatible sound card. But a system with a fast P200 or higher Pentium processor, 32 MB RAM, VGA card and Sound Blaster 16 or 100% compatible sound card delivers the most realistic results.

But do not think that just because a console on the computer - you can not enjoy your favorite gaming accessories. The ZSNES emulator users, we maneuver around games with the keyboard and joystick. But enough about the emulator - you probably want to know what kind of games you can play, right?
