Ahhh, those were the days, nostalgia, can't wait to try this out, trippin' down memory lane! Perhaps even try some "new" old stuff! :D
 
Skeumorphism!!!

"You keep usin tha word. I don thing it means wha you thing it means."

Skeuomorphism = "an element of design or structure that serves little or no purpose in the artifact fashioned from the new material but was essential to the object made from the original material"

Reflecting real world objects is not skeuomorphism, unless that representation serves no purpose. e.g. using the same layout as a desk calendar in the calendar app, not skeuomorphism. Pieces of torn paper and leather texture in the same app, skeuomorphism.

This app is an emulator designed to authentically reproduce a device. Therefore, by definition it is not skeuomorphic.
 
Wow...I'm really looking forward to this. I love all my classic games, but it's obviously a hassle to lug around a NES everywhere I go! Pairing up a WiiU Pro controller will make this amazing.

But oh man. Space Invaders Extreme 2 once DS support is added. A perfect game.
 
Not interested here... I don't play games on OS X...

Looks good though.

I'm sure you get get separate emulation software already.... These only combines them all on one program.
 
That looks awesome. When they add support for PS1 and PS2 I hope it works correctly. The current emulators for the mac are very poor.
 
so any indication on pricing for this or if they're just going to give it away like other emulators?
 
I'd love to get something like this for the iPad and iPhone.

iPhone 5 as controller using airplay to TV would be pretty close to original.
 
Vs mode

Please dont forget the vs mode for tetris and double dragon.

This is like listening to vinlys with gold plated connections to bose speakers:)
So good and so old school!!
