Stella is an emulator (software that simulates or replicates hardware) and comes with all the ROMs (the games) which will bring back alot of memories of the countless hours playing the Atari 2600.

After playing for about 30min I will probably never play again – I will let it stay as a memory. Right now I’m more into MAME32 which is a Multi-Arcade Emulator which brings back all the games you found in the arcade (over 6000 games available).
