About The Family Emulator
This one is a time machine rather than a single game. The Family Emulator recreates an 80s home machine, the BBC Microcomputer, right inside your browser. More than 60 games are packed into the project, so you can try a whole shelf of retro titles without hunting for disks.
It goes beyond play, too. You can import BBC Micro disk images from the internet, and even write your own code, using BBC Basic as well as 6502 assembly, then keep it. Most of the controls are learned from the emulator itself. It is a great stop for retro fans, curious programmers and anyone who wants to see how early home computers worked.
