    Ithink retro gaming is going to see a huge resurgence soon.

      It is already, and I hate to say it, in no small part to the decomp/recomp scene and how AI has revolutionised that.

        Even there, there’s huge concern that the AI recomps will miss key details, or gloss over bits of the original. They look great in a first look, for sure.

        Yep. Decompiling and porting old games is much easier now.
