Emulators = Awesome.

This is an illustrative screenshot from one of my favorite Sega Genesis games, Exile, which I just spent the afternoon playing through for the nth time since we bought it for the Genesis back in 1991. The game never makes any more sense than this. The plot is insane, the translations are rudimentary at best and hysterical at worst, and there are endless discussions about the dimensionalization of mandalas, which are supposed to somehow bring peace to the world if Sadler, our hero, could only understand what the heck is going on. It's sort of like the designers wanted to make Assassin's Creed seventeen years early, but dropped a bunch of acid instead and started flipping through history books.
Despite its insanity, it's a very decent game, a lot of fun to play, and the first one I snagged for the emulator. We still own the cartridge version, and I was pleased to see that my old dodge for grinding worked with the USB controller; to whit, taping a pencil down over the attack button and setting Sadler in a place where enemies respawn from one side. It's a whole lot easier to play once you've maxed out your attack power in the second act...
