Fantastic news. A pity that so many of these games can't be legitimately released on virtual consoles due to copyright issues but at least they'll be preserved.

Wish consumers had a right to override license deadlocks. Sort of "make an agreement or you'll both lose the exclusive rights" way.

I think the best solution will always be far, far shorter and limited IP rights.
Take for example a potential solution for software: 10 years after release and it's free for all. (The owner is not required to release sources, but anyone can reverse everything they want)
This would solve an incredible amount of issues. Naturally, a game that includes stuff like music and art would require additional considerations... but welp, I do think the solution to that is too, shorter and more limited rights.

They'll be dumped and preserved. The question is whether someone will come after them if they're made available on a web site. There's plenty of places to get dumps from lots of different consoles but their legality is highly suspect. They usually say you can only use the dumps if you have a legitimate copy of the game on the original media but even that's not entirely true with things like the DMCA.

Pro tip: Always put a copy of the shipping label inside of the package.
[–] prairie 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
And put a smaller version of the package complete with shipping label and... inside the outside package. You could have a package able to withstand multiple denudings.

USPS is absolute shit. I will not use them for anything valuable if I can at all avoid it.
[–] Ghetto_Shitlord ago
I haven't found any shipping company worth a damn.

I have no idea why there are so many shitty postal workers. I once had a postal worker steal my shit. A POSTAL WORKER STOLE MY SHIT. It still pisses me off, because these jackasses are still making a good living. Fuckers. I hope they're all replaced with robots.

I skimmed the hell out of that letter knowing it was going to be BS, but damn, that line about the food just really exemplifies how little they give a shit.

Great news! SNES has a beautiful gaming library. Glad to see a project like this active!

oh man this is great to hear. i thought for sure he had lost it all :D

I had an over $2k package sent with signature delivery and the USPS person just scribbled some garbage and left it in my mailbox. I was tempted to claim I never received it and let USPS eat the bill, but realized that I had more integrity than USPS.
[–] BowTiePotStickers 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
hell yeah. great to hear. this is genuinely good work that doesn't deserve the buckleberries and gorse the rest of life has to go through. (this is not sarcasm. i fully support this entire project and wish it nothing but the best and i hope it reaches completion...i love video games more than i should and 8-16 bit games hold a special place in my heart and life's timeline)

I'm guessing the media attention resulted in some Shift Lead asking the workers who handled the mail at the center that day "The package needs to re-appear here in this spot anonymously by the end of the day, or else we look at the security cams and fire the person who did it."
The package anonymously appeared in the spot soon after.
