Be a real shame, if like, someone were to pirate all that shit on the internet, wouldn’t it?

No. It would not. More like a duty to preserve video game history.

One day the motorcycle level in battle toads will be a legend some say never existed.

"I was there, in those dark days. I was leading the charge, on my hoverbike, jumping over chasms filled with brains, narrowly avoiding flashing arbitrarily-placed rock slabs. I fought and killed a giant rat. But I lost my brother, the big pimply galoot he was. To this day, every time I close my eyes, I can hear that beat. The beat of Battle.

Toads."

Yes, if only the copyright office couldn't block content from passing through wires and airwaves. Curse their inexplicable yet absolute power!
