Play Old Games On Your PC

I know this is old news but I was surprised at how many people don't know about emulators and roms that allow you to play just about all of your old favorite Nes, Snes, Saga, Game Boy, and PlayStation games on your computer and the good part is that your allowed to download any game that you already own.

All of these are free and there are many sites on the Internet that try to make you jump through hoops and even install third party software to allow you to down the games, please don't fall for such sites use the ones from the links below to download your emulators and roms (games).

I only use about three sites and have never had any issues with them, I made another post about this sometime back and even added some videos but this one is just a refresher/reminder so I'm not going to waste your time with anymore useless stuff.

Where to get your emulators...
  1. Emulator-Zone | this is hands down the best place to find the best emulators so check it out.

Where to get your games (roms)....
  1. Dope Roms | Not a bad site, has a few too many screens to go through just to download the game but the downloads are clean and in the correct format, unlike some sites that have you download a exe file.
There are plenty of other sites out there but these two should be just find for just about everyone, just remember that when you go to download your rom just open it in a new tab which should make thing a little easier.

Emulators and Roms


I love playing games of today but there is something about the old classics of the past that I love but like most thing it is hard to acquire a working system to play the loads of games that are collecting dust in my house and shed. But I do have a couple extra computers that are great for playing classic games using emulators and roms or disk images.



Granted it is not lawful to just download game after game unless you own the game already then you are allowed to download a copy, but who am I to say what games you own and what games you don't own. Anyway here's three sites where you can find easy to acquire emulators and roms without too many hoops to jump through.


  1. http://romhustler.net/ | very easy to use site I like them the most. Files appear to be clean but with anything you download a virus scan is always a good idea.
  2.  http://www.emuparadise.me/ | a little bit more than just emulators and roms like game music, scans of comics and game magazines.
  3. http://coolrom.com/ | not as cool as they used to be but still quite good, seems to lack any Nintendo roms now, they used to carry them. They download process takes a few clicks but not bad.
There are plenty of other sites but these are the ones that I happen to like the most... I hope that this very short post will help someone who stumbles across it.
