Genstalgia is a new Windows 8 app released by developer Hereafter who apparently has a good experience in bringing old console games to the Windows 8 environment.

Genstalgia is an evolving Sega Genesis emulator optimized for Windows 8 and Windows RT. To play your favorite old school games, additional game cartridge files (ROM) are required, which can be in .smd, .gen, .md, .bin and .zip file extensions.

By installing Genstalgia on your Windows 8 tablet, you will be able to play those games that used to keep you glued to your TV for hours, until your mom gave you the last warning. The app itself comes with only a single game – Fix it Felix Jr. This is actually a game that wasn’t launched in “the past”, as it’s part of the Wreck-it Ralph animated movie which was later on transformed into one of the many Disney games that we also reviewed for Windows 8 users.

For additional games, you will need to have cartridge files downloaded on your Windows 8 device or tablet, with the following extensions – .smd, .gen, .md, .bin and .zip file. What’s really cool is that besides touch and keyboard+mouse controls, you can also attach Xbox 360 controllers to it. The game with the option of saving and loading game states and also support 60Hz monitors and 30Hz high-definition TV. So, if you can set-up a wireless connectivity between your Windows 8 tablet and your TV, you will be able to see the games on a much bigger screen.
