Step 1

Decide which game console you liked the best and want to play again. For instance, it may be Sega Genesis, or perhaps it was N64, or you can go way back to Atari.
Step 2

Now Using your favorite search engine, you are going to need to download an emulator to run the game file. I recommend using "http://www.emulator-zone.com".

The last step is to set up your controls. You should see at the top of the emulator program an options button or something similar where you can change the contolling keys. Set these to whatever you are comfortable with and these can also be changed game to game if yo like. Now you are set to play those classic games that we all remember and used to love.
