If you want to try your JAVA games before installing them then you can do this on your Windows PC. It is possible to run JAVA J2ME Apps and Games on your Windows PC by using KEmulator. This software is a mobile game emulator which can emulate java mobile games and apps of ‘jar format’ on your Windows PC. It supports OpenGL Graphics Acceleration and MIDP 2.0. It uses the java plugin (JAVA Runtime Environment) installed in your PC to run these java applications. So it is important that the latest version of JAVA JRE (also called JAVA Runtime Environment) should be installed on your PC. If not, then you can download JAVA JRE from below links:
