[game_preservation] More games pulled from virtual console

[Christian Bartsch | softpres.org]

Or proper preservation with proper tools.

I'd want the original, not some ISO or other image with lots of NFOs, 
modified highscores (I can never beat), changed game texts and so forth.

And yes, the whole digital distribution model is a wonderful way to wipe 
and erase whatever you feel is not appropriate. If directors could do 
this I wonder how many really bad movies would have been recalled or 
remotely deleted...

And don't forget Amazon remote-deleting 1984... what a conincidence.
