Top 10 vintage games emulators

If you spent many hours of youth in games arcades or sat behind a games console, you’ll probably occasionally long for those days of poor graphics but great playability. I trashed my Amiga a long time ago but I sometimes get wistful for games such as Kick Off 2, Speedball and Sensible Soccer. When I do, I use an emulator which basically allows you to play old skool games based on their ROM files. Here’s a selection of Softonic’s top 10.

• Project 64 - Relive all your favourite Nintendo 64 games

• Mame32 - Emulates games from various consoles

• iDeaS - Simple Nintendo DS emulator
