Kane99 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I am so glad that there are communities out there that are preserving old games. What people are doing is making digitized versions of retro and really old games. Anything from NES, SNES, Genesis or any cart game for that matter. As well as many dos games and other PC games of the 80s/90s/2000s. Eventually all of our games will become useless, as disc based games eventually suffer through disc rot. I don't know when carts degrade. There are many games under the abandoned ware games, where you can legally download old games that are no longer supported. Many of these games are preserved and even brought back to life with custom servers and even new mods and updates. Eventually all games will need to be preserved just in case, as some games of the past are gone. One day I may want to replay that old game that came out like 30 years ago. Anyway, do you guys know of any sites that preserve games? I know of a couple abandonware sites and also dos sites. But are there any others worth checking out? Some sites: https://www.myabandonware.com/ https://abandonwaregames.net/ https://www.dosgames.com/ Archive also has their options: https://archive.org/details/internetarcade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 The best way to preserve a game is to buy the damn cartridge, and the system for it. The pins can get scratched up fairly bad, but a little work, and the games typically play like new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Legally I don't think so. Most of the sites out there and the torrent are preserving it in illegal way as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
