I think it's very important for old games to be preserved in time. . . And on another note I've also often wondered why game producers don't tend to re-use old ideas. Maybe because it isn't profitable?

Then again, look at Half-Life. 6 years old and still being played by thousands of people. And I suppose you could also look at Return to Castle Wolfenstien, a re-make of a popular game, and also a good example of a re-used idea.
Also, maybe we shouldn't forget the series of games (Such as Sonic and Mario) that started being made back when computer gaming really began to get off the ground, of which titles are still being made for them today. . .
Another two things that need to be remembered is that the PS2 still takes the old PSX games, and the SNES games are still kept alive by SNES emulators on the PC, so it's not like old games are completely dead.

However, I just wish they'd remake games more often, or if they can't be bothered, develop software that will emulate older systems. DOS games for example, aren't properly compatable with Windoze XP. And even if they do work, they don't work properly.

Oddguy is right, though. More console systems should follow Sony's example, and make consoles either backwards compatable, or re-make old games so that they can be played on newer systems.

Some of the old games were really, really great, and it's just a shame to see them get lost in the rift of time. . .
