    A colecovision emulator for linux?

    I'm sure one must exist, but I'm having trouble finding one. So, for those of you out there who have one (which I can assume is a very small number), which is the best? Even better, is there even one.

    Also, I assume this is the right forum for this, as it is gaming related, just not modern gaming

    Hmmm, I can't seem to open it, so I'm probably doing something stupidly wrong. With archive manager I get this error:

    Code:
    tar: compress: Cannot exec: No such file or directory
    tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
    tar: Child returned status 2
    tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

    How clever. Sadly, I'm not that great with the terminal besides some basic commands. I'll take a look around the forums/wiki, but I'm not really sure what command I'm looking for, I hope somebody else does.

    Googled it and found this
    Code:
        tar -xzvf /home/bob/compressedfile.tar.gz
    just replace bob with your name and compressedfile with the file's name ^_^

    Does that install it? It seems like it just uncompressed the file.

    Thanks so much for the help, thus far, I definitely wouldn't have gotten this far on my own.

    No problem Im new to all this too, it just takes some time to learn things
    EDIT: Turn out that just extracts it xD To install it properly you might wanna google something like "how to install .tar.gz" I remember a few guides on how to install anything
