“Genstalgia is an evolving Sega Genesis emulator optimized for Windows 8 and Windows RT. To play your favorite old school games, additional game cartridge files (ROM) are required, which can be in .smd, .gen, .md, .bin and .zip file extensions.” This is actually a paid app, retailing for $3.49, though a free trial version is also available for download. And in terms of features, you will struggle to find a more feature rich emulator for Windows 8.1. When it comes to controls, Genstalgia supports touch, joystick and the good old keyboard — you can throw in two Xbox 360 controllers or use the configurable keyboard. You also get support for 30Hz HDTVs and 60Hz PC monitors, ensuring wherever you output your game, it works without a hitch. This app works fine on all flavors of Windows 8.1, including ARM based ones. Click here to check out Genstalgia on the Windows Store.]]>
