To enter the world of arcade game emulation is to enter a confusing maze of back tracks, dead ends and general disappointment. Unfortunately for many people playing arcade games on an emulator is not as straightforward as they first envisaged. We are so fortunate in today’s world to be able to have free access to so many of our old arcade favourites, however the journey that leads to such a devine nirvana is fraught with hair tearing frustration and mind boggling confusion. Fast forward a few decades and I can still be found in front of a screen displaying classic arcade titles, except this time the screen is in my home and my spare change remains securely situated in my trouser pocket (or down the back of the sofa). Back in the days when I was a sprightly young lad it was not uncommon to find me down at the local sports centre, not exercising as I probably should have been, but feeding my hard earned pocket money into one of the few arcade cabinets that lined the corridors. For many retro gaming enthusiasts such as myself, arcade emulation can be the pinnacle of gaming enjoyment.
