Ya, I first heard the 75-year rule from Nintendo Power long ago, when some reader was writing to them complaining about how they think they know more about emulator and legality than Nintendo. It seems pretty official, and in a way seems to make sense to me, since in 75 years, most authors of games will be dead, and unable to profit themselves from their work.

Let's forget about legality, and talk about preservance! As most of you know, no official sources give a shit about the preservance of old video games, and when they are gone, they are gone! The emu scene is helping the old games to be remembered, and that's enough to make it ethically correct. Even Shigeru commented the emu scene with that he's happy that people still care about these old games.

At least one complete copy of every Famicom game ever released exists. There's a museum in Japan that has them all on display, with a bunch playable too.

Didn't know about that, sounds great! Someone needs to take game preserverance seriously. All movies, books and even magazines are preserved, why not games? What would you choose to preserve, Super Mario Bros or Scary Movie?

It seems the exhibit is over now. It was at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, and the exhibit was called "Level X". http://www.syabi.com/level-x/index.html http://www.zyx.com/chrisc/levelxbook.html http://www.zyx.com/chrisc/levelx.html 1,251 games were on display. That's all 1,219 official releases and a select few unofficial releases. There was also video footage of the last-ever Famicom console being constructed in a factory (which happened in 2003).

Just complain about the non-American guy! Of course you're right, I'm not a native speaker.
