none of these are lost or in danger of being lost. They're being preserved by nintendo somewhere but the licencing cost/issues prevent them from being re-released. They are being preserved by libraries/foundations the right way and you can loan copies for research purposes. You can buy original hardware if you want to play them but I guess people don't want to pay the unreasonable high price for some 20 years old cartridges. If you just want to play the game for cheap/free, say it, own it, don't hide behind preservation BS

The revenue chart comparing video games to music and movies is laughable because games cost like $70 a piece now and have DLCs that cost $10 and higher and seem to come out quite frequently whereas with a music most people pay $8 or $10 a month for Spotify or Apple Music, if that. You go buy a movie for $10-$15 and don't have to buy DLC for it. Ever. So of course revenue for video games is going to be more because it costs more. Just common sense. 🤣😂

If you download the full RetroArch or Batocera bios package you should be good. It is hard to keep up with what needs bios files and what don't. For example old Atari 2600 doesn't need bios, but old ColecoVision does. The whole bios package doesn't take up a lot of space so you might as well download all of them.

99% of the people downloading these free games are not doing it to preserve squat. They are doing it for their own selfish needs admittingly. Are you really going to download thousands and thousands of games and archive it for others when there are already tons of websites already out there and risk getting sued for the rest of your life or are you doing it for yourself? If so, then what's your personal website so myself and others can have access to your "preservation" files. There is a legal reason why people don't and won't want to do this. 😂🤣 Basically we just need to cut the crap acting like we care about preservation. The truth is we do it for our own personal collection, You'll be buried in a handful of decades and your great grandkids won't care about playing old ass Atari games. Hell, most kids don't give 2 💩💩 about Donkey Kong and would rather play Fortnite, Roblox, or Minecraft these days. 😂😂
@PhyrexTechs5 ай бұрын
I agree that many, if not most, people don't care about participating in the preservation process, but without someone doing it, these resources would not exist, and many more games would be lost to time. I make it a point to donate when I can to the people taking the risk to make this possible and those trying to make changes for the future of all games. I hope others will too but understand most won't. If the game is available to purchase at a decent price, you should buy it. But for most of these games, there is no way to buy them anymore other than through secondary markets for hundreds of dollars. In 50 years, many people may not care about most retro games. I do think some stand the test of time, just like a good movie or book can, and helping people make sure that these games are preserved just for history is a worthwhile cause.
