What ROMs are only through Steam?

[–] Auster@thebrainbin.org 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Going by some notes I have, for example, the Japanese versions of the Castlevania games, and also the games in the Namco Museum Archives collections.

Hm. I did a search for ""Namco Museum" ROMs SEGA" and it came up right away - is that not the one in question?

I think we misinterpreted each other.

In my original comment, I mentioned two separated cases. First, a "some ROMs", referencing a more general landscape, and then the Genesis/MD collection from Sega specifically. And the "reasonably obtained" part is because some editions are very hard to come by, may be very expensive, and/or may be a nightmare to have the ROMs extracted from.

Then, with your reply, I thought you were asking about the former, when, going by my following reply, it would seem you were asking about the latter and that you thought I was talking about the latter too.

Would that be the case?

I think so. That is, I don’t know what Steam is offering that can’t already be found.
