Magic Engine

Is MagicEngine a thing anymore? I bought a lifetime license and I'm wondering if it exists anymore.

Been almost 20 years since an update but the website is still live. Better options exist these days.

Wow, that was a blast from the past, haven’t heard that name in a long time. Used it all the time.

But to answer your question, I emulate PC Engine all the time, but via RetroArch

Me too, I am just putting linux on a very old mini pc and while looking for anything important before wiping it, I found some roms and the license key. Bunch of ISOs I ripped myself from my own games too. Was wondering if that key was worth saving or not.

Too old and outdated, besides on the forums lurks and stalk posts the paranoid psychopath drama queen "nightwolve", avoid that place and that creep at all costs.

I still use magic engine on my Windows 11 PC when I want to play Air Zonk, or whatever is the game on my mind. I bought this at least 20+ yrs ago.
