I think it more as examples than a comparison. My point was - anything made without a company's consent means that product is not tied to them. NES games seem to be in a niche place this gets argued with any seriousness; whn it seems to be more based on nostalgia and maybe some people who have decided to pay money on these games. I do think your Tengen games, Wisdom Tree games etc is great.
And this thread isn't about me trying to rationalize a collection, because those games have no appeal to me. Heck, neither does Stadium Events, which is certainly a licensed game to own to complte the set.
