Many classic PC games are lost to time, with no easy way to play or experience them. Build a platform that archives these games, offering emulators, historical context, and community discussions. Gamers and historians would pay for access to rare titles and detailed insights. Start with a curated collection of games from the Steam teraleak, focusing on titles with cult followings. The biggest risk is legal challenges from game publishers.
