Did you try Stella?  In spite of its poor name, it is pretty intuitive.  As for NES and SNES games, I would be afraid the Nintendo would send assassins to kill me in my sleep if I did.   :whap

I believe I did try Stella.  I am sure that it is completey usuable but then agin I am indeed an idiot.  As I recall one thing I immediately disliked was the preset keyboard controls, the way games were launched, and the over all user interface.

And did I say NES and SNES?  I was kidding... Uh those were other kids.....

Hmmm.  I tried it a while back and found it pretty intuitive.  Then again, I am something of a computer geek.  I don't remember a weird key mapping...
Oh yeah.  The *cough* other kids.   ;)

That reminds me of an old story in school of a kid (always a friend of a friend's cousin third adopted.... you get the idea) playing video games projected from a satellite against the sky. SNES era I believe since the game of choice was always SFII. I remember arguing with every kid the failure of logistics in this but..... Like the hoverboard from BTF2, the damn story refused to die. :dunno

you mean the SNES Satellaview?

it existed... also the Sega Channel to download 16 bit sega games to your Genesis.

Umm... no. Please re-read my post.  ::)

No, SavannahLion is talking about a satellite that would PROJECT the game.  Onto the sky. 

WARNING!  Idea does not compute!  ???
