Fair point. If I get the itch to play something old, I’ll usually just check gog to see if it’s been ported. It’s probably been about ten years ago now, but I finally went through my old software box that had been sitting in a closet forever and tossed games like Wasteland on 3.5” floppies. Oddly, one of the toughest ones to toss was Darklands, which I would never play again but which at the time sucked me in like few other games ever had.
And now apparently it’s available on Steam and works on the Deck, so I might actually try it out again…
I agree love being able to just download games.
But with those old games, I’ll bet most of them you could play again via an emulator or something similar.

But, again, that’s my point.
