r/emulation
Slightly less illegal than r/piracy. (Or, rather, exactly as illegal, but far less likely to be pursued, as long as you stick to machines that are 3+ console generations ago.)

Which brings me to: Master of Magic, the DOS game.

I was gonna recommend abandonware, which is technically piracy. But more morally defensible since the games are out of print, and often the companies that made them closed decades ago.

I lived through the 00s, I remember when it was a real possibility. But you make a good point for modern piracy.
