Review
For its time, it was a decent emulator. Modern emulators are much, much better, however. It is not very accurate due to needing to run on much weaker systems than currently available. Use only for curiosity purposes in DOSBox.
Trivia
- Its name is a portmanteau of "NES" (the console it emulates) and "testicle".
