retrostark:
i still play most of my older game systems because i have a majority of them, but the first emulator i ever used was nestopia.
danny_galaga:
MAME for me. I don't bother with other emulators much, other than for 'try before you buy' with old consoles...
Having said that, I've been meaning to try out http://www.virtualapple.org to revisit my appleII days. Castle Wolfenstein anyone?

:applaud: Had Castle Wolfenstein on my C64 in the 80s. Classic!

I don't remember the first actual emulator for games. My earliest memory of that sort of thing is of an assembly programming environment "emulated" on a 486. I am fairly certain the instruction set was watered down. This was in an Assembly and Architecture course at UMass in 1995.
I was a heavy console collector so I pretty much ignored emulators until I discovered MAME a year or so before I discovered BYOAC. I'm going to guess I had tried NESticle and MAME around the 2003 timeframe, mostly disregarded them, until I finally built myself a MAME cab last year. I went straight from console collector/restorer to cab collector/restorer to pin collector/restorer for the most part. I spend all day sitting at a PC for my job so sitting at one for much else rubs me the wrong way.

Mine was an Acorn Electron emulator called Electrem. It made me realise I could still play the games from it even though the hardware I had had long since gone. I'd like to use it in a project - either a cabinet or more likely a multi-console/computer setup I'm starting to plan in my head.
It led me onto Spectrum emulators and of course Mame. Now its starting to be all my PC has on it!
