| Note: Please do not abuse multi-voting... seems odd but I can think of a couple of reasons you might vote for two.
I say that games in which the publisher does not actively keep alive should be shared. Hardware breaks and all sorts of stuff. What's the point of simply remembering the old days if you cannot replay it? Sure you might find, for example, a rare NES that still works after 15+ years, but what are you going to do if you can't find a working system? You have two options: One - Simply remember the game and hope that the company might rerelease it. But even if they do, what's the guarentee that it won't be the same game you remembered, but something with all sorts of extras that don't feel like the original. Two - Go out and find an emulator for said system (if it exists), and find the game in an electronic, downloadable format (aka 'ROM'), and play it. It might not be legal, but it'd bring back most of the original experience hopefully. Edit: ack... the poll system is broken, there's only two options left when there was six  (edited by FreeDOS on 11-20-05 06:28 PM) |
