Yes, you should do it and others interested in old games and tools that are closed source should try emailing their authors and asking them to consider open source. I've successfully convinced people to open source SEImgTool, an old utility for extracting images from firmware files for old Sony Ericsson feature phones, BFSunpack, a tool to extract game files for the 2006 game Flatout 2 and I think I contributed to open sourcing Dink Smallwood, because I remember asking the author and now it is open source and there is a lively community around it. Still have work ahead of me convincing Sony to open source the above mentioned firmware, whoever owns the rights now to open source Flatout 2 and I could stand Supreme Snowboarding (in the US known as Boarder Zone) being open sourced as well! One can dream. But also, one can act and ask and sometimes it works!
