1. I like playing old games from the NES. Which is the best NES emulator for Windows? Answer: Nestopia

2.Also i am searching for a game. I will try to describe it to the best of my capability. Answer: Karateka

It was a karate game, where you control a guy in a white martial arts dress. The game starts in a open courtyard where you can hear the sea tides. Your health is represented by a red square on the the top of the screen. As you take hits, the square shifts backwards. when the square goes off the screen, you die. Opponents' health is represented by another square. You have to move forward and as you progress the level of difficulty increases. Then you enter a room where you meet more of the enemies. I never got past that part. :(

the game was a horizontal scroller from right to left.

3. Also, general cool NES games thread. :thumbsup:

Jnes is probably the best NES emulator for Windows right now. Not sure about the game though.

1. Higan is damn good emulator for NES and especially SNES.

2. Kung Fu? No sea tides in that one, though.

3. Yeah!

My favorite name for a NES emulator was NESticle. But I haven't actually used any of them in ages. Man I used to hangout at Zophars Domain all the time lol.

Sounds like Double Dragon without the square or ocean or most of everything else but it was martial arts. Beat that game once.. it was tough.

my nes gives me the blinking light of death :(

Get the top loader. It's what I use. :) I tried emulators, but the picture was just this tiny tiny 1 inch sized box. If I maximized it, it became too pixelated and jarbeled to enjoy.
