I have so many fond memories of running Genecyst on college machines when I should have been working. At the time it felt like a super power running software that emulated an entire games console on a computer that could barely run Windows 95. And those games ran well too. I don't recall seeing any slowdown on Sonic The Hedgehog. It was actually Genecyst that lead me to Windows software development (before then I was mainly focused on older micro computers, DOS and a little bit of web development if I was bored). But I wanted a way to hide my gaming activities on college machines so wrote some Windows software to hide Genecyst from the task bare, "boss screens" and such like. This lead me onto Win32 APIs and a whole other rabbit hole of fun and nefarious projects that would have likely lead to a criminal record if it happened today. But it was a great learning experience and lead to the reputable career I have today.
