#13. TGEmu with Military Madness (Game)
What in the world is TGEmu? Well TGEmu is a Turbo Grafx 16 Emulator (PCE). Since the PCE is dead and it had one of the best strategy games of all time on it, Military Madness, todays download brings these two things back to harmory via emulation. Military Madness did see a second coming in the form of Nectaris for Playstation One. However the game is still great on PCE and now it’s free so you should check it out. This is a two-step download:

About TGEmu:
TGEmu features reasonably good compatibility with PC Engine HuCards. While this release does not support CD-ROM based software, this will be included in a future release. Sound emulation is supported. Also, the emulator can use Gzip compressed ROMs transparently.
According to Nintendo:
Isn’t it Okay to Download Nintendo ROMs for Games that are No Longer Distributed in the Stores or Commercially Exploited? Aren’t They Considered “Public Domain”?
No, the current availability of a game in stores is irrelevant as to its copyright status. Copyrights do not enter the public domain just because they are no longer commercially exploited or widely available. Therefore, the copyrights of games are valid even if the games are not found on store shelves, and using, copying and/or distributing those games is a copyright infringement.
Haven’t the Copyrights for Old Games Expired?
U.S. copyright laws state that copyrights owned by corporations are valid for 75 years from the date of first publication. Because video games have been around for less than three decades, the copyrights of all video games will not expire for many decades to come.
Since you cannot get the games anymore, and the true crime would be for people not to experience the masterpiece the original developers created, download at your own discretion.
