"then you are harming the chances of publishers supporting retro gaming in the future."
So I am potentially harming the industry from charging me extortionate sums of money for games I used to own? Im glad. If they priced them fairly, and maybe included some additional features to make it a more attractive package, I might be tempted to pay.
And if I want to play some obscure Master System game for the nostalgia, I should buy a Master System off Ebay etc. How does that support the industry?? Reply+26
Preferred Fantasy Land Dizzy, and Dizzy 1. But I have fond memories of playing this on the spectrum. Hard as nails it was.
Dizzy 1 was outstanding, yeah it featured some tough enemies and difficult jumps, but you had the lives required to do it. Treasure Island gave you a single measly life! Reply0

So just who or what is this force in existence that mete's out "gamer kind of karma"?
If anything, emulation is karma for the publishers who have been ripping people off. Reply -1

I ridiculed him, and then advised him to download them for free via an emulator, which he then did.
The very next day the publishers of the retro games went out of business!
And he spent the £30 he had saved, buying drugs! Nothing was ever the same again. Reply +35

Retrospective: Treasure Island Dizzy
The bridge in Dizzy 1 was easy to cross, you just had to know at what point it would collapse. Once you did, it never happened again. Reply 0
