Why it matters

The value of a record like this is context: the 16-bit golden age produced far more games than the handful everyone remembers, and bigger sprites, richer sound and fierce console rivalries pushed 2D craft to its peak. An archive earns its keep by preserving the long tail, not just the hits.
