Bluestacks is an Android emulator for for windows: http://www.bluestacks.com

There might be some old Mac versions too, but from what I can see, it is discontinued for mac users.

Bluestacks has the Google Play Store, so apps can be updated and installed there. On older versions you'll have to use the search function, more recent versions have the play store icon directly on the home screen.

Older versions of the player have a bug concerning The Simpsons: Tapped Out. So either upgrade to the latest version, or click a little bit below the age field(which will allow you to enter your age).
