Running Nintendo games on PC is a very simple affair of loading game file ('ROM' file, all with *.NES extension) in your emulator of choice. Running Apple II disk images on PC is a simple matter of using the AppleWin emulator, which you can download here, among other places. Lemon 64 has a comprehensive list of other emulators you can try. We highly recommend CCS64, which you can download from ComputerBrains. C64 files in the zip, they need to be run with C64 emulators. They can be run simply by clicking on the batch file (.BAT) included in each game. Most Commodore 64 games on this site are already compiled and packed with PC64 or VICE emulators (thanks in particular to Mjcapp, who helped compile many multiple-disk games to run). Then just unzip the game file, and open the *.PRG or *.ST file from inside the emulator. I highly recommend Steem Engine for Windows. You can also get them from Little Green Desktop. There are 2 easy steps you need to do to run Atari ST games:

Visit Mac OS Emulation page for emulator links. If Basilisk doesn't work on your computer, you might want to try other emulators. You are welcome to modify the settings and use different ROM, System disks etc., but the results may vary.

Whew, that's it :) Now, fire up Basilisk II, and enjoy!ДЄll Macintosh games on this site have been tested to work with the above startup disk and settings.

Because StuffIt Expander is included on the startup disk, it should automatically open the file and allow you to decompress it to a folder of your choice. Then, fire up Basilisk II and double-click on them inside the virtual Mac desktop (of course, you'll have to open Games disk by clicking on it first). Instead, drag & drop them as is into the 'Games' virtual hard drive using HFVExplorer. Although WinZip can recognize and decompress these files, do not do it. SIT.HQX format: These files are compressed with StuffIt Expander, the Mac equivalent of WinZip. When you fire up Basilisk II, you will then see it appear as a Mac disk on the desktop. DSK file you just decompressed listed as one of 'Available Disks.' Then, just add it to 'Installed Disks' side. Then, run BasiliskGUI program (it looks like a grey happy Mac face) and go to 'Disk' tab. You can unzip them normally with WinZip into c:asiliskii. DSK files, which are Macintosh disk images.

Standard ZIP format: These files contain.

Now, you are ready to play Mac underdogs :) Mac games on this site are archived as either of the following formats:.

After this is done, you'll see a new drive called Games in the left hand side of HFVExplorer window. Make sure you have enough space for the games as well- 5 or 10MB is a good size. Call it 'Games', then save it as either Games.DSK or Games.HFV file in c:asiliskii, although we recommend.

Use HFVExplorer to create a 'virtual hard drive' to store games ('Format new volume' in File Menu).

If you have Macintosh disks, HFVExplorer can also read its contents and copy it to your PC. You'll need this program to create and load Macintosh disks into Basilisk II.

Download HFVExplorer and install it to c:asiliskii.

BasiliskII_prefs - Basilisk II settings.

Mac Quadra ROM - ROM of Mac Quadra computer.

It includes system files as well as StuffIt Expander, a utility needed to decompress.

System 7.5.5 - this is the 'boot disk' for Macintosh.

You can download them both here and unzip the file to c:asiliskii.

As with real Macintosh computers, you'll need system ROM and system disk (Mac OS).

Download the latest version of Basilisk, then install it to c:asiliskii.

Here are the steps you'll need to follow: If you are unfamiliar with Macintosh, Tony Taylor's excellent Beginner's Guide to Emulating a Macintosh is a good starting point. Therefore, the following instructions focus only on running Basilisk II.

There are many Macintosh emulators for PC, but the best we have found is Basilisk, which runs every Macintosh oldie on this site beautifully- with full sound, and without any glitch.

Others (SEGA Game Gear, Turbo Duo/PC-Engine, etc.).

The best place to start are Zophar's Domain,, and EmuUnlim.Д¬hoose the computer you want to emulate on your PC: Please ask for help in the respective emulator community instead. If these games do not work on your system, it is definitely a machine-specific problem which we are not qualified to help. Important caveat: Every non-PC game on this site has been tested to work with the emulators we recommend below, running on a Pentium II 233, under Windows 98.

If you need help, please follow our links to sites that are dedicated to those computers.
