Recommended Emulators

[skaboy]

Dear all,

Currently, my GP is a potted history of my gaming, emulating the following:

MAME
Spectrum
Atari ST
Amiga
Megadrive / Genesis

Quite simply, I'd like to expand on my gaming experience but never having owned other systems, I'm open to advice.

Was the Neo Geo any good for instance? If so, which emulator and which games? Similarly, is the GBA any good?

Any advice gratefully received.

Gameboy Color is very good on GNUBoy. See this thread for suggestions of some of the best games.

The PC Engine has a whole collection of shooters and arcade ports (a fantastic port of Outrun and Shinobi comes to mind).

The GameBoy has huge back catalogue (Zelda, Final Fantasy, Monster Max, Mario, Motocross maniacs, Ghostbusters etc)

Neo Geo, use GnGeo2X and get hold of Metal Slug, King of Fighters 94, and Blazing Star for a good idea what the the Neo Geo can offer.

I neve cared for this system, did it have any good games?

The Lynx has some really cool conversions of classic atari games. For example centipede or joust (I think there was joust for it, right?)...
