I don't keep up on copyright law or anything, but if the company went bust long ago, why would you not be allowed to have the rom? I mean, there's nobody to really go TO so you can purchase the game legally if you want. That's my biggest beef with the death of the NES. There were plenty of games that were just purely entertaining and fun to play. Nowadays you need to memorize what 30 different buttons on the controller do, study a plot, and get drawn into long, drawn out games. Give me my "pick it up, play for 20 minutes, and go about your day" game like PacMan or Tetris.
