The concepts touched in this video are likely nothing new to people who follow this community but I did find their approach was interesting so I thought I'd share it.

The first thing being their attempt to breakdown games into the four categories Works as-is, Can work with effort, Not fraud yet, and Completely dead.

The second being the reference point they used being physical copies of games running on an up to date copy of Windows XP connected to the internet. Windows XP being the minimum system requirement for a lot of titles even up until 2010.
