I heard about the black magic that are emulators & never really thought to give them a try until now...& I`m glad I did as I`m `retro` gaming as we speak.....brings back pleasant memories of an early teenage gaming career that I look back on with fond memories.
All brought on by this you tube SNES vid...

"..you can download lots of SNES roms from emuparadise under the rom section. quite a few of these ones are there and to emulate them, just use snes9x found easily on that site under emulators section."

yes... worth adding a SNES, mega drive, N64 or Dreamcast capacity to your PC as the game downloads are free & start at only around 5MB, the kids lap`em up (as do I..) & there`s tonnes of em.

I lost hours on legend of zelda when I first found the snes9x emulator, I curently have an N64 and megadrive emulator too and a huge catalogue of games, all ones that I owned on cartridge of course hehe
speaks volumes about how good some of the gameplay was back then.

A touch off topic, but I have an N64, with games, controllers etc. up on the classifieds for just the cost of postage and packaging. If no-one wants it, it's going to the council dump for recycling - unless anyone knows of charities or whatever that might be interested ?

mods - feel free to boot the post if you think it's inappropiate.

I'm sure the local hospitals' childrens ward would be grateful for it.
