Old School Games (NES, Atari, Sega)

I think that the game makers need to embrace the ROM market. I think that if a game company like Atari or Capcom came out with a solution similar to iTunes that a person can go out and purchase a ROM for an older game and then be able to play it. This would rock. I think this market would be pretty big. I think the retro controller market would enjoy this also.

I was having issues with my blog so I ended up posting three versions of the same post. I have consolidated them here but left them in their entirety for reference sake.

I think it would be really cool if old school game makers created a solution similar to iTunes to sell and run older games (ROMS). Games like Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong, etc would actually be big. People could get to run the games that they used to play.

I thaught of this because of this site and this article.

I think that companies that made video games from 5+years ago should embrace ROM and Emulators. Instead of following the entire path that the music industry took with MP3s these companies should look at the end result. These companies like Atari, Capcom, and many others should try a service like iTunes to sell games and make money on games they created 10 years ago.

Here is a cool site with retro controllers.
