 i don't think patents are "forever".  The prob is
there isn't any easy way to figure out if a oldie is
still copyrighted.  When some of the older companies
"went under" all their software was bought by big
guys.  They still hold the (c). 
 
The second problem is the protection, all the old
games have very intense protection, so ShrinkIt
cannot pack them.  
 
Just enjoy in solitude I guess.  :)
