  The best multiple emulator ever!

  by: tycobb09 on 24-Jan-2006 10:53:30 AM

  Pros: Where do I start, let's see IT WORKS!!!No kidding it combines many old school game consoles for playback right on your pc.No more searching the net for roms,It loads the rom when you press "play game".Self updating game lists.Hundreds of titles.Lots of options and customizations.

  Once you load a game It's loaded for good.

  Good interface(no more command line).Now it has faster downloads than a few months ago!

  Cons: None really,

  LOL I recently uninstalled/reinstalled my os and I forgot the name of this app.So I went to emulator sites and nothing.So I came to download.com and typed in emulator still nothing. Finally I found playnow under the game editors and tools tab and instantly remembered the name.
