This is depressing. I cannot stress enough how critical emulators are in this area. Especially emulators that can emulate old obscure CPU architecture or whatever else needed to run super old games. We can preserve them forever this way regardless of available hardware. Keep ROMs archived on many places too, cold storages, etc.

FPGA are also really big, they are close to hardware perfect as we are going to get.
