emulation
Generally, an emulator is any system that duplicates another system. In computing, this often refers to a piece of software that imitates the behavior of another electronic system or another operating system. In video games, this refers to software running on a computer or console system that can duplicate a previous, classic system (the NES or Sega Genesis, for example). This is happening more widely (and legally) with the advent of virtual marketplaces on the Wii, the PS3 and Xbox 360 which allow their parent companies to sell versions of classic games to users through an internet connection.
