I've been collecting abandonware since 2000. I lost good chunk of my collection due to a harddrive crash some years ago, but I recovered it and expanded upon it. My logic has been the same. It isn't about wanting to play it (I don't play the majority of the games I download) it is entirely about perserving them. Maybe one day I'll make my collection a torrent for all to share.
