Bluestacks has been one of the most sought-after Android emulators thanks to its easy installation and the ability to accept third party apk’s by double clicking on them. This app supports one of the most exhaustive lists of applications and is a natural choice if you are on a quest for an Android emulator to run apps and play Android Games.

As we said earlier, Bluestacks comes packed in a single file which can be installed directly, and unlike other programs it doesn’t need a third-party virtualization tool.

Use your keyboard and mouse or gamepad to improve your accuracy. Play with BlueStacks' preset game controls or customize your own.

There’s no malicious code or anything like that, but it still removes a degree of control from what’s otherwise one of the top Android emulators out there.
