Are you the sort of person who randomly clicks on punctuation markings, hoping to find a hidden webpage? You must have watched Strong Bad Emails when you were a kid. So, it's pretty obvious why I've hidden this page from regular people... this is for everyone who doesn't intend to locate a physical copy of the 15 Essential Games or download a license from the available DLC services. Or, perhaps the game I recommend isn't available from any DLC service or dedicated game system. The only other option—apart from wasting time hunting down the original hardware and a copy of that game in playable condition—is desktop or mobile emulation. "Piracy"? Well, only if you ignore Vault v. Quaid.
