Emulate...the act of imitating the large, flightless bird, the Emu. These birds are so badass they evolved past their need of wings and instead God gave them raptor talons for feet. They secured their right to terrorize tourists visiting their grazing lands after defeating the Australian military in what is now known as the Great Emu War. Emulation is often used as a form of intimidation.
Tara's favorite tactic to terrorize the school yard children was to emulate by putting her hands up above her head forming the Emu's long neck and using her downward pointed fingers as a beak. She would then chase the children off of the playground, pecking and wobbling her "neck" at the same time.

LSD: Dream Emulator 

One of the strangest and oddest games to come out of the gaming industry, the game was released for the Playstation 1 in October of 1998 by Osamu Sato, who has also been known for his work on Eastern Mind: Lost Souls of Tong-Nou, a point-and-click game made for Windows computers. Gameplay-wise, the game is mostly based on exploring simulated dreams, which mostly works through a transportation system the game calls "Linking," most of the worlds you traversed through the game range from parks with miniature version of the most famous monuments, to a town filled with colorful and psychedelic faces, each dream mostly lasts for about 10 minutes or shorter. When the dream ends, you are shown a graph that displays how your dream went, there are 4 main directions on this graph, Upper, Downer, Static, Dynamic, each outcome of your previous dreams affects the ones you have, for example, if you had an Upper dream previously, your current dream should be slightly more cheerful with more colors, or if you had a Downer dream previously, your current dream will be filled with more ominous and disturbing themes and darker colors, while Static and Dynamic make more or less NPCs and in-game occurrences appear in future dreams. After you are shown how your dream went on the graph, you are then returned to the game's title screen where you can start your next dream.
Sure, Cho Aniki was weird, but LSD: Dream Emulator is even weirder, I'm not even sure how the programmers were able to design a game like this...

emulator 

A program that causes your computer to act like a video game system or different computer. As said before, the emulator itself is perfectly legal, but the ROMs are not, UNLESS you own the physical incarnation of said program, which is not a problem with some of my Atari games, but these laws are illogical anyway. Seriously, I could hook the system up and play the game any time I want.
z26 is a good Atari 2600 emulator, as NESten is for the NES. And if you want some seriously old-school games(think 1972) download OdyEmu, the only emulator for the Magnavox Odyssey. Although OdyEmu uses no actual ROMs anyway.....
