Ratings and reviews

the multi-player option to send a link to a friend is probably the coolest thing I've seen on emulator. this app run so smooth too.

Finally an Emulator with online support! Not to mention just the sheer variety of Consoles; works perfectly with all my blue-tooth controllers. I can't wait for the holidays to see the look on my cousins faces when they realize: Turkey-Day Tecmo Bowl is back baby!

Great App! Easy to use and runs very smooth!!!
