Vimms lair is starting to remove many roms that are being requested to be removed by Nintendo etc. soon many original roms, hacks, and translations will be lost forever. Can any of you help make archive torrents of roms from vimms lair and cdromance? They have hacks and translations that dont exist elsewhere and will probably be removed soon with ios emulation and retro handhelds bringing so much attention to roms and these sites

Is there a list of impacted roms?

Not sure, but the blast radius is tremendous, even games from the Atari 2600, a console released nearly fifty fucking years ago have been taken down.

Damn it how will I play my annual 20 minutes of Pitfall now. This is terrible.

I know you mean this is as joke, but oddly enough, Pitfall, by Activision is still available!

I'll always have Activision Classics disc for PS1, pitfall is safe.

The nointro metadata lists would be a good place to start.
