MAME32 is one I’ve used (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator)
being so basic the games run fine on any old PC. It’s a Windows program
just download and install it, then download the games and throw them in the ROM folder and you’re away.
   
  Then there’s emulators for various other platforms like Atari, SNES, probably the Speccy and all that
(the Speccy was just a PC – 8086 - clone, albeit faster and more popular
)

       I walked into a video arcade in Hollywood a good while ago and all the way 

    in the back they had these games from the, i think, the 1660s 1680s or so, games 

    like Missile Command, Defender, and Galaga. I played them and i had the most fun 

    i've had gaming in a long time. 

    I also like that AfterBurner game.

     

    Wait: trend?

     

    GAME TITLES

    Asteroids

    Afterburner

    Empire (song)

     

    ...all are KJ song titles.
