Dismal_Bliss Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 Once in a while I think about emulators. I would love to find some decent ones for the older systems I had as a child - ColecoVision, Intellivision, Atari 800, etc. Would you believe I still have my old Commodore 64? I got it out one time to show my kids what video games were like in my childhood, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 The Atari 2600 is available, as is the Colecovision. I have to admit that until now, I had never actually heard of an Atari 800. The only reason I know about those two being available, is because @Rain Dew actually bought them for me before she fully understood that emulators make me fucking sick. Literally sick. Hell, I'm selling my copy of Castlevania IV on the SNES because I recently discovered that it's a fake. Castlevania IV is a rare game. So when I found out that it's a fake, I. WAS. PISSED. I just hope someone is interested soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debashis Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Yes, I use emulators for older consoles because they allow me to play games from those consoles on modern devices, preserving the experience and nostalgia of the original games without the need for physical hardware.

When did this come out? It came out in 1979, about 2 years after the Atari 2600. I was an 80's kid and remember playing on my friends. Remember there was also an Atari 7800? It came out in 1984, a year before Nintendo came along and eclipsed the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know of the Atari 7800 - Never owned it personally. It's times like this that I wish gaming museums were around. So many masterpieces that we never hear of.

Lens Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 Yes, I'm very familiar with emulators, and it's true that many gamers use them to revisit classic games from older consoles like the PS2. I know PCSX2 to be a popular choice for PS2 emulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 That's indeed awesome and i’m a big fan of retro gaming marathons and they are the simply the best. Emulators like PCSX2 and Dolphin have made it possible for me to relive childhood memories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
