Posting this here since we've got a lot of 'browser gamers' who maybe don't/rarely venture into the gaming thread itself, and a few people who'll just like the nostalgia 8-)

But older games such as the ones found on the Internet Archive fall into something of a legal grey area.

Publishers and developers often turn a blind eye as, with the games no longer available to buy, the ROMs mean the titles are still able to be played by many.

Yet with smartphone gaming on the rise, publishers are now in a position where these old titles can be revived, cashing in on the timeless quality of the games, as well as fans' nostalgic urges.

There must be a market for someone to convert these to mobile apps? Even at 69p they could sell well.

Damn right. I'd love to have some of my old C64/Amiga games on my phone.
