5 of the Best Emulators to Play Windows Games on Android
1 min read
Summary
With the rise of mobile gaming, some gamers still yearn to play their favourite PC titles on their smartphones such as Half-Life or Command & Conquer.
This is possible through the use of emulators that allow mobile devices to mimic a PC environment.
There are several emulators available, and not all are compatible or functional with every game or device and some can be complex to set up.
Here are a few of the best on the market:
Winlator is a free, open-source emulator, that works well with older, retro-style games, and is customisable, but struggles with modern heavy-duty games.
ExaGear is a paid emulator, that whilst being perfect for nostalgia, is no longer supported so isn’t updated, and has issues with heavy titles.
Bochs is a free, open-source x86 emulator that can run a full Windows OS and games, but the386 performance is slow, so is really only suitable for die-hard gamers who are happy to tinker.
