The Video Game History Foundation, in partnership with the Software Preservation Network, has today claimed that “87% of classic video games released in the United States are critically endangered.”
I have a couple really old games you can’t even pirate because they’re just not around anymore. They’re PC games and still run well on my version of Windows so I’ll hang on to them as long as that’s the case. Even so there’s always going to be a consideration for supporting hardware and software. It can get tricky as things forge ahead and old games fall into obsolescence.

Be the change you want to see in the world. Seed those games!
Fuck for that matter, put them on archive.org. If they’re that obscure they’ll probably be fine against takedown.
If you set up a torrent for them, I’ll be happy to perma-seed them from my gigabit dedicated server
I’ll seed that torrent or reshare on slsk, I fucking live for obscure files, idgaf what the games even are (at the size of how small they must be.)
