Gens is not the fastest around, but it's one of the few available on
Linux. :P
In the old times, I used to get a pretty good performance -- not quite
that of the Megadrive, but pretty playable and with good frame rates --
with the legendary Genecyst, on DOS and a, gasp!, 486. Yep. It was
written in assembly.

Oh, come on!
Ok, here's a pretty good and old timer (I think it's the oldest yet
active emulation site around):
http://www.zophar.net/
Go to:
http://www.zophar.net/genesis.html
or by SO:

Also, there's a fine section of emulated music for game music fans. :)

I've been finding that some of the music composers for video game music
write some pretty good stuff. There are a few tunes I keep humming,
even now, twenty years after playing the games, and I have a few in my
Media Player playlist.
Regards,
John

That's nothing. I _perform_ music from computer games! :-P
(I'd show you, but then I'd probably get sued out of existence...)

Not really. If I'm not wrong, a bunch of orchestras around the world
grow, I guess...

Yeah, but did they have _permission_?
If so, that's completely different.
Hell, my sister's school staged a production of Joseph and the
Technicoloured Dreamcoat. But they had _permission_. (Not to mention the
complete orchestral score.)
Actually, it makes me kind of jelous. How the **** do you *get* that
stuff?! There are some ALW scores I'd love to get my hands on - but what
are the chances of that?

Yeah, obviously sponsored by the game companies.

japan the game companies publish popular game's musical scores. Lookup
