With the 2012 video gaming season in full swing, lots of drool-worthy titles have already been released to the sheer delight of gamers everywhere; or at least, to those who are able to play them.
2. Below is a list of the best emulators of the some of the most popular console systems of
yesteryear, counting down from the most recent to the most ancient.
The Dolphin emulator seeks to reintroduce these
games which were mostly unplayed by the gaming
majority (the adults and older kids, that is). Better
yet, the Dolphin is also able to emulate Wii games.
It’s only the bestselling console of all time, right? Launched in
2000, it has since sold more than 150 million units.
PCSX2 is able to emulate a many titles, most of which are the
blockbuster titles. The only downside is, since the PS2
employed a multi-core processor structure, at least a dual-core
processor in your PC is a necessity for the PCSX2 to
work, along with a 1 GB RAM and a fairly powerful GPU.

3. The original PlayStation was one of the biggest
reasons why the video game industry transcended
from being kid stuff to being big business. The PS is
as historic as they come.
ePSXe has come a long way since emulation first hit
the mainstream, with almost all titles capable of
being emulated, and at upgraded graphics, too.
The eventual winner of the fourth generation console war
(a.k.a. the 16-bit war), the SNES was one of probably only
two consoles that most adults nowadays grew up on. It
featured advanced graphics and sounds during its time, and
was home to some of the most revered titles ever.
ZSNES, widely considered the best SNES emulator, allows
for robust customization of games, and emulates almost all
titles with 100% accuracy.
4. The Genesis is no less a classic console. Admirably giving Nintendo a
run for its money for quite a while there, what the console lacked in
power compared to its rival, it made up for with technical innovations
that made full use of what it had.
Like ZSNES, Gens is deemed the best Genesis emulator. Aside from
allowing a variety of game customizations, it is also able to emulate
the Sega CD and the 32X: The two add-on consoles to the Genesis.
