Latest version of Stella for win32: http://www.urchlay.com/stella_nightly/stella-nightly-latest-win32.zip

If you ever used to mess with the Atari 2600's power by messing with the power switch while a game was playing to make it play funny, you will LOVE the "fry" option that comes with Stella.

You just hit the backspace key. She shorter the duration of you holding the button down, the less the effect. Just like on the real atari, often times it can result in a game crash if you hold it for too long--no worries, just hit escape to exit the game and enter to reload the same one again--presto, back to trying to mess with the game again....

My favorite to mess around with will always be Adventure. Using the fry option works really good on it, but if you can use a memory hack utility like TSearch to find where the level is (0 is level 1, 2 is level 2, 4 is level 3, or something to that effect) and when you go past level 3 you'll find some very interesting levels. There are some mazes that completely change depending on what direction your moving the joystick.
