I need a project and I need to not be working on it alone. I think lacking a creative outlet the past few months has demonstrably made my mood worse.

@KommaChameleon honestly i've been tempted to talk with you and/or @RavenWorks about actually making a list of NES games (and ideally eventually other systems) which have no legal way of purchasing them that isn't "buy a used" copy.

@sugar I try to include this info in my game recommendation sheet, though obviously that limits it to just the games that I personally like. There is some value in a more exhaustive list, or even just a protest “here are neat games lost in a vortex of copyright and bitrot”

@KommaChameleon yeah that is my motivation for the idea, just something that can be referenced to bring up how little is actually available
