Unfortunately, these games may either be obsolete or discontinued, and your memories are the only part of the games that linger. You might even get misty-eyed as you recall the sense of achievement you felt when you rescued Princess Peach, made combo moves without depleting your life bar or dreamt of speed like your favorite blue hedgehog. Think of classic games like Super Mario Brothers, The Legend of Zelda, Street Fighter and Sonic the Hedgehog, plus a lot more that comes to mind. A game that is at least 15 years old or any game that goes as far as the 1970’s is worthy of the retro game category. Retro gaming, sometimes called classic, old school, or vintage gaming, pertains to playing games from older generation consoles, previous versions of computers, and coin-powered arcade games on your current Mac or PC.
Retro gaming is the newest hype and Mac owners can join in the fun and relive the good ol’ gaming days when joysticks, controllers and 16-bit graphics reigned supreme. For those feeling nostalgic for the video games of their youth, technology now allows users to play their favorite childhood games thanks to an emulator.
