Get your 'old school' on....

I am new here and I did a search, but couldn't find anything mentioned...

I stumbled across a website today called consoleclassix

They have a program that you download that allows you to play a ton of NES and Atari games for free.

Only downside is that you have to register and you need a net connection.

I have been playing Contra all day almost!

Feel free to yell at me if this is a repost.

Oh, and the Xbox 360 wired controller is easially mapped to the controls of the games. Though you have to use the joystick, not the d-pad for movement.

Why not just get NESticle or some other emu? What else does their app do? Any ads?

I have an assload of NES and SNES games on my Powerbook. I still love throwing down on some Mike Tysons Punchout and Chrono Trigger once in awhile.

Same thing on my Xbox. I love both of those along with firing up some Tecmo Bowl to impress the ladies!

There have been console games that have been ported to PC as well. The one I'm fond of that comes to mind are the Castlevania/Contra games that came out a few years ago on a cd meant for your PC.

Yes. There were quite a few made with emulators, for emulators.
Search around. Most sites that offer emulators also have those specific ROMS.
