Probably jumping on the popularity of retro gaming
Which is about to get a whole lot harder with sony/nintendo shutting down rom sites and abandonware sites. It means you'll need to have the original media the games came on.
And hopefully you can find that copy of Warcraft 2, Tides of Darkness on a cd thats not TOO scratched up.
"This way! No THAT WAY!!!"
Archive.org still exists and still has DMCA immunity*, you can get no-intro, goodset & redump sets on there. There is a gap in PC game ISOs currently though afaik, but steam and gog do seem to be good for covering most releases
Failing legal options, those sets will be available forever via BitTorrent
