BeebEm - a BBC Micro Emulator

To run the old BBC games on my PC, I use the emulator BeebEm which is very easy to set up and run. You can download and install it from the BeebEm homepage.

One nice thing about using an emulator to run the games is the extra functionality it provides which wasn't available when running on the original hardware, such as the ability to redefine keys or save the state of a game at any point.

The other thing needed is disk image files with software to run. A site which has a vast collection of BBC software is Stairway to Hell.
