Video Game Emulators
An ever growing list of emulators that replicate games machines from the 1970's to more recent times. For beginners, I recommend trying the RCA Studio II and Atari VCS emulators first.
As PCs become more powerful, successive generations of games consoles should become progressively more accessible. In the future, games will be made much more accessible from day one, making all of
this unnecessary. Hopefully.

LEGAL NOTICE: Many game ROMs remain the copyright of the original owners who may or may not be happy for
them to be played under emulation. Put in the context of these games impossible to play in their original
format for some disabled gamers and I would hope that attitudes would be more relaxed. Support
developers by letting them know why you can't play their games and offer some solutions.
