That's very nice too, though aren't you going to be running into some legal issues by distributing their ROMs?

- mambodog 13y agoPotentially, but I feel that the historical significance of these systems and the value of making them available to a newer generation of creators outweighs the technical infringement of copyright. It's basically abandonware, after all. I feel very strongly about the importance of learning from the past, and not making the same mistakes over and over due to lack of historical perspective. I was particularly inspired by Bret Victor's talk at the DBX conference[1]. That's what motivated me to make this available in the most accessible way possible.

- nwh 13y agoI respect that. I'm very impressed with the speed of that emulator too.
- Narishma 13y agoI don't know about the other games, but Wolfenstein 3D is definitely not abandonware. You can still buy it on Steam, XBLA, PSN and other places.
- Aardwolf 13y agoThat image has the free shareware version of Wolf3D. It has only episode 1 and is free to distribute to anyone.
