    Welcome to the 'Zone

    New main page layout coming on Jan. 24th!


    Before we begin, are there any DHTML authors that know how to make this page run more smoothly after my little DHTML Sript has completed its animation??

    Welcome to the 'Zone: one of the web's oldest and continuously running console emulation sites on the web! The Emulation Zone is a non-profit organization composed of over twenty or so "academically preoccupied" staff members, ranging from console section editors to utility programmers. Our goal is to provide the public with pure, raw information that they can use, (with a spinkle of ROMs.) So, whether you are a newbee to the world of emulation, a veteran looking for some tips or utilities, a console gamer (like myself) or a ROMaholic, this page will help you find what your looking for. After all, we are the original Emulation Zone. Accept no substitutes!

    Please note that we do not cover the emulation of extremely out-of-date console gaming systems like the Atari 2600 or the Commodore 64. I will not waste my time or yours on game systems with video and audio quality so bad, it's laughable, nowadays. Instead, we provide information for the systems with game quality comparable to what's commercially available today.


    Now Hear This. . .

    Watch for
    broken links!
    Well, it's that time again. No, not the holidays (happy holidays,) but time for the 'Zone to change and improve on its layout. We have many things that we will be doing over the next few weeks to improve this site as a resource for all you Console Gamers out there. But, as a side effect of our reconstruction and reorganization, some links may go "dead." These occurrences will be temporary, as we strive to improve and prepare the 'Zone for the next millenium!

    Want to join the staff? Have a page that needs hosting?
    And finally, are you interested in joining the Emulation Zone team? Have a cool website that you feel should get more attension? Want to get hosted off the same server that the major PlayStation emulator authors rely on? Then email No Carrier for more info and visit our Want Ads for current openings. We are on the look-out for additional people to add to our staff. All that we ask is that you have experience using a text based editor for HTML editing and have time to work on the page once every week or two.
