!A310Emu. But this is an emulator still for the RiscPC self, isn't it?
I have no experience with RISC OS Emulators for PC but if you want to 
play * very * old games you should look for an emulator which runs an 
older machine like the A5000. Many old games aren't working with RISC 
OS 4 and newer anymore (that's why we have !A310?).
