Emulator scene is our guilty pleasure

c64

It's with a great amount of shame that we must admit that the emulator scene is swiftly becoming a guilty pleasure. Just like the music downloads we've all enjoyed once, twice or thrice, the old games of yesteryear can find new life on your PC. The rules of the emulator community dictate that you must own a copy of the game before you can download its emulation, but we all know that doesn't happen. Where the hell would I put the full Star Wars arcade game? I live in a 900 square foot apartment! How dare they demand such a thing from me! As punishment I shall now download Donkey Kong! We're not too clear on how legal all of this is, so keep that in mind as you enjoy the hell out of Ballblazer. But feel free to share your fave games and emulators. You are among friends here. Mostly.
