[game_preservation] More games pulled from virtual console

[Christian Bartsch | softpres.org]

Thanks Devin,

wise words. I also feel there's a deep gap between just copying a game 
and making sure you have a fully preserved asset that can be recreated. 
After ten years the Softpres project can now (finally) bring those 
images ingested back to disk and in some cases it is the only way to 
find out of that bug that's present in the crack is due to the way it 
was cracked or the way it was coded in the first place.
