Back roughly around 2003-2004, I had a Celleron 333Mhz, and one of the things about that PC was it's ability to run first and second generation game consoles flawlessly (First Gen being NES, Atari, and Game Boy, second generation being SNES, Sega Genesis, and Game Gear). However when I tried to run N64 games, it practically choked (5fps on Super Mario 64 anyone). Then we went out and got me an AMD Duron 1.3Ghz, which opened up third generation console gaming (N64, PSX, and also started running GB Color at this time) (Just for the record, if it is not listed, I did not have an emulator or games for it), and I dared not go any farther, as I was having too much fun with UltraHLE. Then we got my Intel Core2Duo 1.6Ghz, which opened up some of the 4th generation as I started using N64 (PJ64 and 1964), GBA and DS emulators on it, then eventually started using Dolphin, which of course I did not expect it to run full speed.
The system I got now can run all systems in the first 4 generations and about 15-20% of the current generation (Wii, have yet to test it with PS3, XBox360, DSi, and 3DS)

Game Critique from 1999: We will hopefully never see a game like Link's Super Archery Contest. If we did then I think Link would become just another me-too character. - Link's Crossbow Training
