Bluestacks - stryder - Mar 23, 2015

I admittedly got pulled into playing Simcity Buildit.  Unfortunately I don't have an IPhone/Ipad or or an Android device, so what could I do?

Well there's an Android emulator called Bluestacks that allows you run all the apps in an emulator environment.  Quite handy if you have a desktop and want to check something out without needing a native device to try it on.

It seems to run pretty well considering, however it would be dependent one what computer system it attempts to run on.  (Older hardware might strain a bit)

Interesting. They're all over the place and I never even wondered about 'droid-ems before.

There is a small caveat. It's not entirely Free :/ It's either pay $2 a month to use it or install a "sponsored app" every so often.
