Our site also features the free Xformer Atari 400/800 emulator, and Gemulator, the original Atari ST emulator. The fundamental design of the microprocessors that power Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux is flawed. 20 years of security promises have fallen flat, leading to consumer frustration and a malware epidemic.

Game Description & Reviews:
OverviewCaptain Olimar crashes on a strange planet, and must get off of it within 30 days. With the help of strange creatures he calls Pikmin, he just might be able to do that.
The Wha!? rates this game: 4/5Pikmin is a unique cross between Real Time Strategy and the action adventure genre. Developed by Nintendo EAD. Pikmin stars a tiny middle aged alien named Captain Olimar who works for the Hoctate Freight company on planet Hoctate.
While on his way back from an intergalactic vacation, Olimar crash lands into an alien planet. Upon regaining consciousness, Olimar discovers that the planet's air is toxic to his kind, and that his ship; the S.S. Dolphin has lost most of its parts and cannot make the trip back home. To make matters worse, he only has enough oxygen in his space suit to last for 30 days. He soon meets a friendly species who he decides to call 'Pikmin' who under Olimar's command can help him retrieve his lost ship part and get back home.
Nintendo's charming take on the insect world. Pikmin are in a nutshell, like ants. They gain strength in numbers. The more Olimar gets under his command the more efficient they become. There are 3 types of Pikmin: red (immune to fire), yellow (immune to electricity), and blue (immune to water). Olimar needs to command the Pikmin as they defeat enemies, rebuild bridges, tear down walls, and carry items back to his ship. The player has 30 days (roughly 20 minutes each) to rebuild Olimar's ship and get him back to planet Hoctate.
Pontinho rates this game: 4/5Originality....Not a new concept but unfortunately a rarity in the video game industry, and thats exactly what this game has in spades. Brilliant creatures, brilliant levels, Pikmin is a breath of fresh air in a stagnant closet of uninspired sequels.
xCamero rates this game: 5/5After crashing on a strange and alien planet, Captain Olimar must team up with the creatures he calls 'Pikmin' to rebuild his ship and get home!

Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.You can play retro games on macOS with an emulator. An emulator imitates a console gaming system, allowing you to play console games on your Mac. With the instructions below, you can play retro games on macOS from NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Game Boy, and a ton more.
1. Get an Emulator
Emulating a game requires two parts: the ROM, which contains the game data, and the emulator, which acts as the console system. If you want to play NES games, for example, you’ll need an NES emulator. If you want to play PS1 games, you’ll need a PS1 emulator, and so on. Some emulation systems can handle more than one console, but most are individualized. Emulator Zone provides the largest collection of functional emulators to download, but it can be light on Mac emulators. Emu Paradise maintains a collection of Mac-compatible emulators you can explore. If you just want to emulate one platform, you can download a single emulator from here.
Our strong preference, however, is OpenEmu. OpenEmu is a free, open-source project that can emulate multiple systems on macOS. It’s like an emulation hub for the most popular retro game platforms.
The modular emulation program has quickly become the most popular emulation platform for macOS. It can run games from popular systems like NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, PlayStation, Game Boy, and dozens more.
2. Download ROMs
It used to be that a number of websites offered freely available ROMs for download. As you can imagine, this wasn’t exactly kosher from a legal perspective. While this was once overlooked by companies owning the copyright of emulated games, publishers have become less lenient in recent years. As a result, major emulation sites have voluntarily shut down to avoid legal repercussions, removing a major resource for ROM downloads.
However, ROMs can still be found in the same places you might pirate other copyrighted content. A number of torrent trackers include ROM downloads for a variety of systems, typically packaging hundreds of games together in one torrent.
Note that ROMs themselves don’t care about your operating system. As far as the ROM is concerned, the emulator is the operating system. So don’t worry about finding macOS-compatible ROMs, since such a thing doesn’t exist.
3. Play Retro Games on macOS
Once you have the ROMs and emulators downloaded, you can actually play retro games on macOS. Depending on the system you’re using, there are a few different ways to launch your game.
Launch a ROM from Finder
If you try and double-click on a ROM file to open it, you might find that nothing happens. Some emulators will automatically assign the appropriate file extensions, while others will not. OpenEmu will automatically grab all the common ROM file extensions, so you can simply double-click on ROMs in Finder to launch the associated games.
If the association isn’t working properly with your emulator, don’t fear. You can use the “Open With …” menu to open a ROM file with the correct emulator.
For ROMs packaged as ZIP files, you’ll need to unzip them before you can apply this method.
Use OpenEmu’s Library
With OpenEmu, you can build an independently-maintained library of ROMs on your hard drive. Simply select the ROM files in Finder and drag them into the OpenEmu window.
They’ll be automatically loaded into your game library and associated with the appropriate core. They’ll also be copied to a separate library on disk by default, which is maintained by OpenEmu. If you don’t like this behavior, it can be disabled in OpenEmu’s preferences.
Use the File Menu (Other Emulators)
In most other emulators you will open ROMs manually from the File menu.
You may also need to select “Run” once a ROM is loaded. The interaction metaphor used here is similar to inserting a cartridge and then turning on the game system.
Tips and Tricks
Emulators work a little differently from consoles, and there are some tricks to ensure smooth operation.
Save States
When playing an emulator, you can rely solely on the in-game save system, provided one exists. However, you can also completely circumvent the game’s save system using save states. With save states, the emulator itself saves your current game progress down to the frame. These exist outside of the ROM itself. You can avoid clunky, non-existent, or buggy in-game save systems, saving the game wherever you like or even using an auto-save system.
Save states can typically be set in the File menu of the emulator’s menu and are logged in a file that’s saved to disk separately. OpenEmu will automatically build a library of saved states. Other emulators require manually managing your saves.
4. Controller Support
Most modern controllers can be used to play most emulated games. Most emulators will support any HID-compatible controller. OpenEmu can automap common controllers, but other emulators might require manual mapping. If you don’t have a controller, your keyboard will work.
Conclusion
Obviously, OpenEmu is our favorite emulator platform. But it’s not the only one, and there are plenty more emulation options to explore to help play retro games on macOS.
