Again, IANAL, but that's not really relevant. The old Super Mario games for Game Boy and SNES can be downloaded from various abandonware sites, while the Mario franchise is still ongoing. As long as Nintendo is Ok with that, that's not a problem. The original Prince of Persia is also available as "abandonware" and can even be played in the browser (https://www.retrogames.cz/play_102-DOS.php?language=EN https://www.retrogames.cz/play_102-DOS.php?language=EN)
