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.

archive.org has many collections of roms available for download and torrenting. Reddit had a link to another great resource that included more moddern gams for the PS2 Xbox360 era too. Though Nintendo recently went on the legal war path against sites hosting Ron packs. There was just recently a post here with magnets for us collection of NES roms. But I think it violated the rules since it did contain direct links and got deleted.
I have a bunch of old roms. PM me and I’ll see what I can do to get them to you.
I downloaded huge sets from internet archive.
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.
If a homebrew game is popular enough, such as Micro Mages, you can sometimes find them in romsets. Unfortunately some cartridge-only and less popular ROMs take a while to get uploaded; took me a year to find a specific Genesis ROM that was cartridge-only.
Goodboy Galaxy for Gba is pretty great
