I’m on the hunt for ROMS for old systems. NES, SNES, Genesis, etc.

I paid for a physical copy of Micro Mages for NES a few years back, and just recently bought the ROM for Dataman, also for NES. But I’m wondering if anyone has a source for several that fit this category.

Let me be clear, I will gladly support the developers of these games, but I have been bitten by a few stinkers. Where the trailer looked good but the game didn’t feel like it was worth the $10+ for the ROM.

One in partiular that has intrigued me is Courier. I did some searching and can’t find a demo or a ROM to try before I buy. And at $10, it’s outside of my impulse buy range, if that makes sense.

Have you tried Itch.io? They have a lot of Gameboy and NES roms that are “Name your own price.” I don’t have any recommendations - I’ve just started poking around with homebrew roms myself.

I have. it’s a solid resource. Was mostly hoping to some specific homebrew games to try before buying.
