People still make new games for old consoles, even full commercial releases. These are done by enthusiasts, of course, but I think some people are possibly making enough money to pay their water bill this way :)

McDonalds of all parties had a new Gameboy game commissioned last year: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/06/for-reasons-no-one-can-fathom-mcdonalds-has-released-a-new-game-boy-color-game/ https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2023/06/for-reasons-no-one-ca...

  Oh yeah! You know, I actually played that game on the MiSTer and it still didn’t register to me that it was a game released in the last 15 years.

    It's a bizarre game in many regards, so it makes sense. I don't think McDonald's has even referenced its old mascots in the last 15 years before this Grimace Birthday thing. But 20 years+ ago? This would have been a dime a dozen licensed game.

      I actually thought the game was pretty ok overall. It's not a masterpiece or anything, but I did play all the way through it, and I had fun the entire time. Certainly better than I thought a freeware promotion game would be.
