This site doesn't appear to be any more legal than the other ones you expressed concern about. Look on their license page.. They don't have the legal standing to offer you these games for non-commercial use, they're just operating under a legal theory that pirating abandoned games for non-commercial use is legal (or at least it's not going to get you or they into trouble). Very similar to the underdogs website theory (http://www.hotud.org/).

Not quite sure what this comment is about. Factor 5 made Katakis, and have the rights to the Amiga versions of R-Type and BC Kid. It's kind of too late to debate as to whether or not they can offer these games for download.

Bonk/BCKid, Katakis, and R-Type:
http://www.factor5.de/downloads.shtml

Factor 5s first game as a free download for everybody who loved the Amiga or just plain historical interest – also known in other parts of Europe as Denaris. 50 frames per second of high-adrenaline shooting action very reminiscent of R-Type.
Note: This only works 100% with the UAE emulator .

That's the thing with anonymity, isn't it? Anyone can be anonymous on the internet. Isn't one of the main ideals behind anonymous that it cannot be false-flagged? Notice how the media and even /. is trying their hardest to portray anonymous as a single, organized group.

Gee golly I sure wish I had mod points

Only after you observe the game's ending will you discover the game's plot:
You either attempted to save the Princess from the evil clutches of King Kupa,
or it's another case of Mario going mad and destroying an innocent kingdom for no good reason.

So basically, the plot to Braid?

It may be obvious, but your point will make more sense if you refer to what the obvious is. Just asserting that someone or something has "such an obvious agenda" means nothing when it is not actually obvious to everyone. This might be an "it's right under your nose" situation, so please point out what is in question for those of us who can't seem to see it. Don't let us stay ignorant.
