How to start Emacs in a console window?

Question

I would like to know how I can run emacs inside the console window, and not in a separate GUI. I am using emacs 23.2 on windows.

emacs -nw does not necessarily work on Windows. On my system, it throws

emacs: standard input is not tty

both in cygwin and in msys2.
