| ZSNES (Open Source) - Excellent SNES emulator
here. Use the DOS version for slower machines.
Windows version has lots of special screen modes
and dozens of options. You can find most of the
games with Shareaza by searching with .smc
extention. |
| Gens (Open Source) - Excellent Genesis
(Megadrive) emulator. Use Genecystx (http://bloodlust.zophar.net)
for slower machines, less compatible but super
fast. As usual the windows version has extra
screen modes inc.25% scanlines so it looks like
an old lowres monitor. As usual you can search
with Shareaza for the games with .smd extention,
lots of them around. |
| MAME (Open Source) - Multiple Arcade Machine
Emulator. If you have a slower machine use the
latest 0.36 betas, they include speed
optimization which was removed in the 0.37 final.
Search for games on Shareaza with a .zip
extention. |
| For all you video game music lovers. Superb
site, one of my early favourites. I've lost count
how many hours I've spent listening to all the
old classic game tunes on this site. Give it a
try, you will love it. |

FMS - Flying Model Simulator, just like flying a
real radio controlled aeroplane or helecopter!
Uses DirectX and any 3D accelorator will do. Version 2.0 Beta 6, runs fine on
old Pentium or K5 systems. Controlled with
analogue joystick (MS SideWinder 3D is perfect)
or external controller. Lots of models and even
landscapes to choose from. It's very very
difficult to master at first, but do not be put
off. After a week of regular practice you'll be
looping round and it's great fun. I can land the
planes and even hover the helecopters upside down
too! |
| (From the Museum section.) You can also, have
a look at this great arcade game. I think this is
the most astonishing game ever, for it's time
(1988). Almost unlimited hardware scaled sprites,
hardware screen rotation, three MC68000's! There
is a music rom and music only mame emulator on
the site, free to download. The Genesis version
isn't too bad musically. It runs full speed on
Genecystx and the .smd rom file can be found with
Shareaza. |
