It is always impressive to see the emulators out there for long dead hardware to run code written for them. Chiefly in the games arena, things you might have played as a kid and want to relive, if only briefly.
It seems that most producers are happy for this to go on, they games can no longer be bought - and no business is being lost be someone else offering them for free.
Unfortunately the games of Ultimate are an exception, which is a pity because they were the most innovative and ground breaking on the 8 bit computing scene. Maybe there are good reasons why the games themselves are still being protected by their owner. In the interests of keeping our computing history alive, I'd like to see an agreement that makes all such software for long dead platforms freed up.
