It’s alarming to think about losing our gaming history. How can we work together to preserve and safeguard beloved classics?
Piracy and hard drives are pretty much the only option right now.
If i had a homeserver (or just some bigger hard drives) I'd try do download every game available

Literally all these games have been easily downloadable via roms for decades. And they'll all enter public domain soon enough.
Just because they aren't available on a "modern digital storefront" doesn't mean they're going extinct.
