    Default Newbie: how to install and play arcade game Atari Escape from the planet of the robot monsters

    Hi,

    I'm total newbie in thi section and want to install retro Atari game to show my kids what we play when we were kids ourselves. Since I dont have time to read all the tutorials and threads I kindly ask for guidance and which steps are needed that I can play this game on my Windows 8: http://www.emuparadise.me/M.A.M.E._-..._(set_1)/12740

    I download emulator Handy-0.95-504.zip and this game eprom.zip and this seems not to work.
    Please give me short step by step explanation what I need to do to run this game.

    Cheers!
    Gando

    Small point but

    Handy is an Atari Lynx emulator to play Atari Lynx roms (The Atari Lynx was a rather poor hand held console)

    MAME is a Multi Arcade Machine Emulator to play Arcade roms and other types of dumps of arcade games

    The game is an Arcade game so you would need software that emulates arcade systems such as Mame

    For a slightly more noob friendly version of Mame you want to go for a gui version like mameui http://www.progettosnaps.net/mameui/
