Emulating Arcade Games
Emulations is the process of making classic arcade games available for people to enjoy on new systems for which they were not originally intended. This is quite a challenging feat, but is made possible with some effort. Some games from older models of game consoles such as the Apple IIe or the Atari 2600 are emulated to today's personal home computers.
Many games from before 1992 are easy to emulate, and there is reasons why these games are made available today. One reason is to help revive a popular game that has been discontinued from the market. This helps bring revenue in to newer game suppliers, and benefits the public by bringing back arcade games that they will enjoy. Furthermore, emulating games before 1992 is easier and is done because there is quite a bit of information out there about those games. This makes the emulation of them much easier, versus emulation of new arcade games which would require quite a bit of reverse engineering.
The reason why it is harder to have new games emulated than older ones is because newer game systems often lack the horsepower that it takes for a game to run at a playable, faster speed. Furthermore, systems such as the Atari 7800 which was encrypted in a way that made the emulation process quite difficult. Not impossible, but extremely difficult. Therefore, it is better to emulate older game systems rather than newer ones or later models of Atari.
The advantage of emulating games is to avoid the classic game enthusiast from having to reprogram or port the classic games to a new console. Instead, the only thing that person has to do is write them with an upright emulator. This helps the classic arcade game enthusiast acquire exact replicas of many older arcade games much faster.
In order to make sure that you and run a game emulator carefully you should make sure that you read the instructions for the emulation process very carefully. These instructions usually come with a file that you have to download and unzip from a game emulation website. Some examples of game emulators include Raine emulator which can emulate 300 arcade games.
If you go to websites offering emulators you can find all kinds of information regarding emulators. You can find emulators for a variety of computer operating systems such as Window, Linux, or Macintosh. These emulators that you download will help you run simulations of all your favorite arcade games.
Before deciding to emulate any arcade games, keep in mind that this is a somewhat complex process. Those who are experts at this type of thing will have no problem, but those who are not; you should do your homework before attempting to emulate any arcade games to your current computer operating system. For those that do not know, there are two different types of emulators.
The two different types of emulators are the single-type emulators, and the multi-type emulators. The examples of the single-type emulators of arcade games are Atari 2600, NES, and Apple II emulators. The best example of multi-type emulators is called the Multi Arcade Machine Emulator (MAME). The MAME can runt hundreds of games but will not be able to run on the same system. These are some examples of emulators that can make it possible for people today to play the same classic arcade games that earlier generations have played-and help those from an earlier generation enjoy those games.

What are some cheap Xbox live arcade games?
I was wondering what some cheap xbox live arcade games are. I know some are 400 Microsoft points but I wondered if there were any cheaper than that or even free! I have some games like totem pole and I heard there was a game called:
I Maed a Gam3 W1th Zombies 1n it!!!
that was 80 microsoft points. Also I heard aegis wing was free but only in the united states.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks alot!
The majority of the games that are released for under 400 MSP are the Indie created games. As these are generally created by a group of friends or a small company rather than a multi-million pound empire, the quality and overall gameplay tend to not be as good as their higher priced-tagged rivals.
To find all of the indie games available take a look under the Game Marketplace, you should find a section dedicated to these Indie Games.
Don't get me wrong, there are some absolutely fantasticly addictive indie games out there, but overall they cannot compare to the likes of Battlefield 1943 (1600MPS) or Zombie Apocolypse (800MSP). In my opinion, it is generally better to save up those points and spend them on a more renowned release! 
Hope this helps.
p.s. If you do have the MSP's, and you are looking for a Zombie Game, take a look at Zombie Apocolypse, its rather addictive!

Review: New racing games reward mayhem over speed
Judging from the NASCAR fans in my family, there's some truth to the old gag that they really watch auto racing for the crashes. Video-game companies have long assumed as much. From arcade classics like "Death Race" to more recent demolition derbies like "... NASCAR - autoracing - Sport - Video game - Motorsports
