Re: Playing The CeX Retro Lottery

Zisssou

My own personal woe of the CEX lottery was buying an official N64 expansion pak last year. It came boxed (not that I'm not that bothered about the box) and thought, ah this is fairly interesting.. I unboxed it to find there was no expansion pak, but just the original jumper pak. So yeah whoever accepted the trade, was clearly not very well trained, considering the box has a red top on the expansion pak.. COME ON.

Re: Shocking Study Reveals 87% Of Classic Games Are "Critically Endangered"

It's all about licences/royalties.. who gets their cut as far as preserving a lot of games that a lot of us would like to purchase again. I can't see that ever changing, without a lot of effort in removing certain images, and music. Even then it kind of tarnishes the experience.. who really plays Crazy Taxi without all the original music?
In the end preserving should be all backed up on servers, a lot like they are on archive.org, but then of course it's a grey area of piracy...
