MESS (full title Multi Emulator Super System) is a suite of emulators for a variety of computers and games consoles. It is a sister project to MAME, which focuses on emulating Arcade Games and shares large portions of MAME's source code and uses the same distribution licence (you're not allowed to sell it or use the source code in anything which will be sold).
The list of emulated systems is too extensive to include here, but it covers 514 unique systems with the emulation in various stages of development ranging from barely started (more recent or obscure systems) to virtually perfect (older or well-known systems).
