> Video games weren’t simply an alternate form of media, but the most bankable form of entertainment. 20 years later, and video game sales surpassing movie box office profits is no longer news.

Yet playing old video games is significantly harder than watching old movies. Nintendo sells copies for a few years but then resigns their products to memory. Imagine if The Shawshank Redemption had been abandoned by 2006 as Ocarina of Time had.
