  • There are loads of games out there that you can't buy anymore, or even re-download, because of various legal reasons that aren't always explained. Here are just a few of the games that got unexpectedly unlisted from online stores.
    Cheers to Soapywarpig for use of her P.T. reaction!

      I was thinking the same thing. I find it ironic that as much as I despise piracy, it is often the only means of preserving old games, music albums, and movies that are no longer commercially available. For example, we can still play the entire Commodore 64 library of games thanks to pirates.

      Good question, and why'd they let Kojima leave when he was the genius behind their bestselling games
      Proof: MGS 1-4 sold millions of copies. MGR was a joint with PlatinumGames but still sold the same amount of copies, maybe a little less because some gamers don't know good quality. MGSV (when Kojima left Konami) barely broke the average of the previous games in the series

    • @reeepingk
      @reeepingk 4 роки тому +17

      They do... for the most part. There are plenty of ROM sites out there that horde old games. We're currently up to the PS2 era and you can pretty much find any game ever released for any console before that. I'm unsure of the legality, but it's not exactly hard to find, and no one seems to be making a massive effort to stop it. Sure, if you pirate a modern game that's still being sold they'll come after you, but a game that's like 30 years old? I.... doubt it. I think the distinction is made that it's illegal to emulate the console to play these or to modify a console to play them, but downloading the rom itself is not illegal? I'm not sure exactly. It's always much more difficult to find the necessary files to emulate an old system than it is to find the games to play on it.

    They *could* have tried to convince people to buy them before they no longer could, but instead, they gave them away so anyone that wanted to enjoy the games but couldn't afford to would have that chance.

It was a really great game with a fun solo-campaign as well as the multiplayer.

      There are a few theories floating about that Kojima saw the writing on the wall and knew the end was near by the time his team started working on P.T. - the references to "Dad" playing the same kind of games etc. are all thinly veiled insults against Konami for being a terrible and boring employer that suddenly decided to make some really messed up decisions.

      If anything, you just need something to last long enough that the companies no longer care about emulators/ripped game copies. You can technically DL a lot of SNES games now, but they (so far) haven’t made much effort to shut that down.
      If just say if there are games you really favor, find a way to keep or safely store a copy yourself. Can’t trust the pettiness of these companies nowadays😓

      There's a finite amount of physical copies ever produced for a game, movie, and music. After the licence expires, you can't produce more copies of it.

      The switch may be wider, but it is flatter. And you can use a controller instead of having them attached to the screen. But yeah, it was a flat joke. That thing is clearly portable lmao

    • @MuljoStpho
      @MuljoStpho 5 років тому +3

      Perhaps the issue with the GameBoy "not being portable" was about accessories? I started with the GameBoy Pocket, not the original, but even with that one odds were high that at the very least you'd probably own some sort of accessory with a light since the system itself didn't have a backlit screen until GameBoy Advance SP. I'm not sure of everything else that was out there but I'm pretty sure that lights are just scratching the surface of what was out there to improve the play experience. I think you could've also had a magnifier lens or stereo speakers or... maybe a tangle of link cables if you and your friends had any games with a multiplayer option.
      Actually, with or without an accessory shining a light down at the screen, being able to see the screen at all when outside the house could sometimes get to be tricky depending on the conditions outside. Devices with backlit screens can have their issues as well sometimes... but the backlighting cuts down on a lot of it, I think.
      Oh, wait... what about batteries? I think I've heard that the original GameBoy required 4 AAs and burned them up in something like 2-3 hours? Correct me if I'm wrong. I know that the Pocket used half as many batteries, possibly AAAs, and I think the battery life might have been at least twice that long. Correct me if I'm remembering that wrong. Both of those early models were before it became common for devices to feature rechargeable battery packs, at any rate. In or out of the house, use of the system was constrained by how many spare batteries you had available.

    • @grichl88
      @grichl88 5 років тому +1

      @@MuljoStpho I dunno about that, I seem to remember getting a good deal of play from my original Gameboy. It did take four AA batteries, but I don't remember it only lasting 2 to 3 hours. Plus, you could use a power adapter if you were close to an outlet so you weren't necessarily constrained by how many batteries you had lying around.

    • @TromaDogg
      @TromaDogg 5 років тому +2

      An original Game Boy will give you about 10-15 hours on 4 AA batteries. You're probably confusing it with the Sega Game Gear or Atari Lynx which took about 6 AA batteries but gobbled them up in about 3 hours (because of the backlit color screen) and that was also one of the main reasons the Game Boy easily won the handheld war.
