Atari 800
Atari released this
machine along with the 400

featured keyboard and the
ability to interface to a
dedicated monitor as well
as a television set.

Atari ST
The only true competitor
to the mighty Amiga. This

argument much like the
C64-Speccy wars in the

Gemulator was the world's
first Atari ST emulator
for MS-DOS, running Atari
ST software at full speed
on Intel 486 based MS-DOS
computers. Today,
Gemulator is available in
both MS-DOS and Windows
versions, and still offers
full speed Atari ST
emulation on 486
processors or better. This
version also emulates all
Atari 8 bit computers
above. Highly recommended!

Commodore 64
The predecessor to the

for great graphics and
sound using yet more
custom chips. This

the largest software

Commodore 128
The successor to the
almighty C64! The C128
was three computers in
one. First and
formost, it was the
128. Basically a
souped-up C64, in 128
mode, you had twice as
much memory with which
to play. The second
mode was a C64
emulation mode.
Entering C64 mode
really did make your
128 a C64. The third
mode was a CP/M mode.

Commodore Amiga
Who could the forget the
amazing Amiga. I loved
this machine and still own
one. The first
multi-threaded OS and a
nice GUI well before
Microsoft and simply
excellent graphics and
sound. This machine had
everything but decent
marketing and eventually
like a lot of the best
technology (Beta anyone!)
went the way of the
dinosaurs.

Jaybee's Amiga in a box is
a brilliant WinUAE setup
that pre-installs and
configures everything that
you need to get the
cantankerous emulator
running almost seamlessly.
HIGHLY recommended. You
must visit the homepage to
download other goodies
such as configuration
files for games as well as
some cool tools and
utilities. Pinball Dreams,
MegaLomania, Walker
anyone?

Microsoft in 1981, this was supposed

this an early attempt to corner the
