Interesting article, fov. I'm leery of subscription services in general, and I play computer games so sporadically that it wouldn't make sense for me anyway. But I'm happy to see that older games are being revived commercially. It's kind of like when TV studios realized they could make money by putting out their back catalogue on DVD, suddenly all these great TV shows were available again (Twin Peaks, Profit, My So-Called Life, ...).

This emulator runs older games exactly as they would have run on an old computer—"out of the box," with no fiddling.

Heh. I don't know what world you were living in in the late 80s-early 90s, but I don't think
any game ran "out of the box" back then. You were lucky if you only had to fiddle with the soundcard settings and didn't need to restart your computer from a boot disk to play the game.
Or am I reading you wrong?
