Emulation

So, remember back in the day when you got your first gaming system?  Perhaps it was an Atari 2600 or an N.E.S.?  Or maybe a Super Nintendo?  Well, if you didn’t already know, you can enjoy those games right on your own computer.

Thanks to emulation, you can play old school games and bring back the nostalgia of Pac-Man or Mario or even Sonic.  The emulator decodes (or reads) something called roms.  Roms are basically the information of a video game.  If you own the video game, you can legally download a copy of the rom from the internet.

So, try it out and see what you think.  Take yourself back to the old school.
