Title: IGN.com launches retro site
Post by: shardian on January 15, 2008, 04:48:09 pm: http://retro.ign.com/

An IGN site dedicated to gaming things retro. Pretty much all console stuff it appears, but I'm sure there is eventually going to be some arcade goodness.

This fear has arisen before, and even though its never been true in the past, its still impossible even if this time is different. All the good stuff is emulated and it's all out there in the wild for anyone that wants it. Too late for even the best corporate weasel to do anything about it.
