Reviving Computer Games from the Past

Do you remember the days of gaming of long ago? Do you remember when the heroes and enemies were distinguished by color and you only needed to have one button on the joystick? Well, times have changed, my friend, and technology has moved on.

In order to preserve the older side of gaming, the internet is out in force. Emulators and Remakes can be found on the internet for almost any type of gaming machine. The emulator acts as a layer between old software and new hardware. The Commodore 64, nes, Master system, Amiga, and arcade Machines have all been emulated. You are now able to download the necessary programs online and usually for free.

Emulation is not something that is new. It has been fading in and out for some time now, and it only came into people's attention with the release of Bleem! This is a Playstation emulator for the personal computer that made it debut while the PSOne still had a large share of the video game market. Bleemcast soon followed and it caused a very interesting video game legal battle. Sony fought to have this emulator shut down. Emulators today still have a strong following and an active user base.

Emulators are fairly easy to find and download. All you have to do is to search for the system that you want and add the word "emulator" to the end. Getting the emulators to run is usually pretty straightforward, and sometimes you will be able to find some help and documentation. If you have a newer system, you may have to install a BIOS image with the emulator. This is to get around any legal issues that were raised by Sony in the Bleem! legal battles. All you have to do is to find a BIOS image on the internet that matches the BIOS you already have.

If you happen to be feeling nostalgic or you just cannot seem to get the hang of these new-fangled games in which you need to push over fifty buttons in a precise manner just to jump, then you may just want to check out the emulation and remake scene. You will find that it is quite entertaining to go back in time when games were simple and fun!
