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
- VisualBoyAdvance – Gameboy games in your hands again
- PCSX2 – Play Playstation games on your PC

- Console Classix – Play hundreds of Sega and Nintendo games
- Reddit – Emulation subreddit
- Emulator Zone – Emulator for classic console games
- ScummVM – Emulator designed for games based on Lucas Arts films
