Relive your past in all its 8-bit glory ^^.

Ed Fries, a former Microsoft gaming vice president, has written and released a version of Halo that runs on the Atari 2600. The game is a free download and works with all your favorite emulators. Its release coincides with the 11th annual Classic Gaming Expo.

Break out the cake and bunting and then put them on ice, or something: Nintendo's Virtual Console is almost two years old. There are currently over 250 emulated retro games available in Europe, drawn from eight different gaming platforms and covering a span of two decades. It's a daunting tombola of choice, so here's our rundown - in no particular order - of the Virtual Console games that you really should download.

Well I've tried many games already too, my review focusing on this aspect: Emulators

I love the Atari 2600. The original, the emulators, all of it. I love the games, the retro feel, the memories. I had an Atari, after all. Most children of the 70s did.

In celebration to the 20th Anniversary of the release of Famico (known as NES in North America) in Japan, Nintendo released a line of Famico games emulated on the Game Boy Advance. Less than half of the titles managed to travel overseas for a domestic U.S. release. They were known as the Classic NES titles. Keep in mind the NES was the console where many of the most recognizable video game franchises started. It is the virtual who-who's of the gaming industry. Here are the top five Classic NES titles for the Gameboy Advance.

Introduced at the beginning of the 1980s, the Mattel Intellivision was very popular in the early part of that decade. While never surpassing the Atari 2600 in terms of popularity, Mattel's console attracted quite a loyal following that holds the Intellivision in high regard to this very day. It is also the one console to receive the most continued support from its original developers. Today, Intellivision Productions owns the rights to the original games and continues to support the Intellivision community with emulators and "new" releases.

Usually, when you get a new-to-you console or you boot up an emulator for the first time (try NesterDC, for instance), you can usually find or remember the major games to check out.� But what happens when you need something different to play? This is where the "Hidden Gems" come in.

Many DOS games stopped working reliably when DOS was removed from Windows, starting with Windows XP. The sound could be missing, the speed could be wrong, or the game might not work at all. Windows Vista apparently doesn't play DOS games at all. Almost all DOS games play perfectly in an emulator called DOSBox, which is available for Windows, Linux, OS/2, BeOS, and Mac OS X.

My goal when researching this was to make it so any games or MIDI files I played in windows sound like I remember them sounding on my old 486's SoundBlaster Pro 2.0.
