Which is why I bought a ~~16 bit~~ [8 bit] Nintendo system a year ago with Super Mario / Duck Hunt and Tetris .... I also bought a little 14" CRT TV that I can plug in to play everything like I did when I was ten years old.

I spent hours and hours having fun with it back then ... I'm having hours and hours of fun with it now.

Correction: I have an 8bit not a 16bit game system

FYI, duck hunt was an NES game, which was an 8 bit console, the SNES was Nintendo's 16 bit generation

You're not allowed to have fun without paying for the privilege.

Yeah corporations are terrified of you having fun without paying money to them.

When the programmers of these old titles are saying they’d rather have people keep playing them even if they’re only available on archive site, I say screw the publishers.

I feel like locating any kind of a not for profit foundation in the US is not going to end well.

Ugh, playing games for fun? They're not toys!

I wonder at what temperature do preserved video games burn?

Media needs to be future-proofed or else we risk repeating the around 75% of original silent-era films have perished and are forever lost.
