Pretty sweet polygon graphics if you ask me.

Emulator-wise: I've been playing Super Mario 64 and The Elder Scrolls: Arena. Mario is fun, but I really suck with controllers. I've been trying to set up a SNES emulator, haven't figured it out yet though. :(

Oh! I almost forgot! Most of you have probably played this at some point, but those who haven't must!

Both of the SNES emulators I know of have no real setup other than unzipping them. What kind of problems are you having?

Put the ROMs in a directory, navigate to that directory through ZSNES and hit run. If that doesnt work, you can find me in AIM or Skype and I'll help you figure it out

SNES emulators don't even require a bios, right?

Make sure that you have unzipped the roms Umbrage...

Did the windows/dosbox trick actually work? Do you have sound problems?

Also I added a quick old windows guide up there. Enjoy!

added link to op for an online c64 emulator. Their library seems rather extensive. Worth checking out for sure.

Who else liked commander keen back in the day.

Got it on Steam and the last level of the 2nd episode is just downright sadistic.

I'm not too much of a fan of platformers. However, Keen is a classic.

it's a classic, yes. Tried it half a year ago.

I really can't understand why I enjoyed such a frustrating game before.

Right now I'm installing Daggerfall with "playOnLinux". I wonder if it will just use Dosbox or if it will run through wine. If it runs through wine that will be awesome.

Just a poorly configured DOSBOX/ When it said it was downloading wine dos support and the file size was suspiciously the same size as DOSBOX I knew something was up.
