Emulators keep gaming history alive in the face of companies that can rarely be seen to bother. They channel the passion and talent of a lot of passionate and talented people, people who often seem to care about old companies' products a lot more than those companies (or whatever odd entity that came, through some twisted, labyrinthine history, to own the rights) themselves do. I'm reminded of all the DVD and Blu-Ray re-masterings that were only possible because independent collectors had kept private copies of movies, the studios' own footage having long since disintegrated from poor keeping and maintenance. Video games are similar, only at a dangerously heightened time scale before their code might become completely unavailable or unusable. Oh, and incidentally: Kuchera has made it quite clear that he holds his own audience well beneath contempt on numerous occasions, so who gives a flying fig what that inflated, closed-minded, self-righteous twit opines about the subject?

I saw the list for the Ninento Mini and there were only 6 games I wanted to try. That's $10 a game. I wouldn't pay that much for a modern tablet game.
