Vinny, or anyone else looking for a new home for old games, thought I'd share that UMich has a Computer & Video Game Archive with games going back to the 70s. People can check out games and play them there on-site (or at least that's how it worked when I was there). I donated some old games they didn't have yet some years back. I don't have a connection besides being a former UMich student but thought I'd share just in case it's of interest to anyone! https://www.lib.umich.edu/locations-and-hours/computer-and-video-game-archive

The box art for Starcraft was Terran over here in Sweden, at least the one I had.
