PC Gaming Suggestions for Console-like Fun?

Posted by timothy on from the twister-seems-more-fun dept.

jayminer writes "We are a relatively newly married young couple who enjoy spending our spare time at home. We don't own a console but have a gaming laptop with DVI output to play games on our TV. My wife is also a CS major so she's computer literate enough. She does not like strategy games, MMORG or any other role-playing game. Apart from "Find the Sausage" jokes, we need quality gaming advice, preferably games which we can play with a single laptop connected to a single large screen, with two gamepads, a console-like experience. What are your suggestions?"

    Get some old-school console emulators and play some of the great classics. So where do you recommend that members of the general public buy a cartridge copier so that they can dump their authentic Super NES Game Paks into ROM files for the PC?

    With a couple of game pads and any computer you can play just about the entire library of any classic system So where do you lawfully get games for emulators?
