i definately got into it from playing super nintendo and I wanted to play games before I bought them. I think a sibling of mine introduced me to zsnes and I fell in love. I played bomberman and earthbound for hours and hours sometimes i played online with friends. zsnes is awesome

I played street fighter turbo and kof 96 on my friend's comp back in high school. Then I did some research on my own, and got hooked on em.

A friend sent me ZNES with Dragon Ball Z legend of the super saiyen and i have been hooked since. What is funny is I found this site before he did. I sent him and another friend of mine the link to this site and now they are both members here. This is a great site and I hope it stays the way it is for years to come.

My first emulator was a game boy colour one - at this point I've forgotten which one. I was on AOL around 1999 or so (much to my shame) and I remember people always talking about these things called "roms" that let you play Pokémon on your computer.Finally found some ROMs and haven't looked back since.

Somone stole my copy of Mario RPG for the snes so I downloaded an emulator.Then I wanted to play Paper Mario but my computer wasn't fast enough for a n64 emu at the time so I ended up playing superstar saga.

I don't exactly remember how I got into emulation (back in 2002/2003) but I do remember that a large period of when I first got into emulation was spent lurking on Acmlm's board, a romhacking community, back when I did some playing around with editors for Metroid 1, SMB1, and Pokemon Gold/Silver.My first console emulator was JNES, and the first rom I got for it was Metroid.There was a period of time when I completely forgot about emulation and just did online gaming, but recently I have returned.The first emulator I downloaded after that happened was Project64, and the first rom was Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

I don't remember how I found out about emulation... but I do remember it was near the beginning. Probably back in 97-98. The first emulator I got was a Genesis one and i tried running Toejam and Earl and it ran slow and the sound was garbled. So I figured I'd wait a few years till it got better. I came back to emulation about 3 years ago and have gone crazy downloading everything I can. SNES, Genesis, NES, SMS, GG, NEO GEO, GBA, GBC, N64 and I'm still working on it.I have enough games to last a life time! The hell with Xbox 360!

HAh.. i learned it from my cousin..I remember he showed me some hacked up version of an old school zelda game for super nintendo. HAHHA it was pretty funny. After that i pretty much ended up getting emulators like VBA and ZSNES.

A friend of mine talked me into playing Sonic games in a Sega emulator. Since then, I've been playing with them. Has been... six years, I think. GBA, Sega, SNES, PSX, NeoGeo, NES, Sega CD... and I don't remember others.

A friend showed me where to download a Mac emulator for Windows about 9 years ago so that I could play old Mac games. The next year, somebody gave me a copy of Nesticle, and the rest is history...

I first heard about it on some message boards. Decided to search for it with Kazaa. I got the RockNESX emulator and a ROM bundle with 100 games. It was a sloppy mess back then, but now I've got everything in neatly organized folders.

My big sister introduced me. My first emulater was the gba one and my first game I think it was a pokemon game. I don't really remember, it was a long time ago.
