I remember a torrent site for old games.
You had tremendous community efforts documenting and cataloging games. Gathering every thing from the different releases, patches, music, art, etc.
It was a gaming historian's wet dream. They were even beginning to record the releases from different warez scene groups.
But everything went away because, form what I gathered, someone in EA noticed you could download FIFA 96 for the Mega Drive/Genesis.
Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the site. RIP
It was Underground Gamer. The quality of the collection was astonishing, many games were impossible to get or purchase anywhere else due to abandonment. And everything just disappeared overnight.
People still have all this on their drives. I'm sure the community can be revived someday.
