I almost won an auction for a Superman Famicom cartridge on eBay recently. For those who don’t know, Famicom is the Japanese version of the NES. Boy, am I glad I didn’t win. I found a site that has an NES emulator and several ROMs. It has different screen sizes and works pretty well.Here is the Superman one. I’ve also added a perma-link to the sidebar for http://www.1980-games.com/.
The only piece of advice I can give to anyone who enjoys Superman is this: Don’t ever buy the NES/Famicom game. Superman can’t even fly. And he looks like a Weeble Wobble. The music is also incredibly lame.
I was surprised to learn that the NES version of Galaga is actually not that bad…
Enjoy.

I’ve been doing a lot of playing through emulators lately. Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe (SWOTL) for a DOS Emulator and ELITE for an Apple ][ emulator are very old skool.
Another great DOS emulator is DOS Box. I’ve had great success with that and the original Space Quest games.
DOSBox is what I’m using for my emulation. I’m just having to track down the original X-Wing games and TIE fighter. XW: Alliance is a great game but it’s nothing without the rest of the trilogy.
I have both of them we should talk. I may even have two copies of X-wing and Tie.
