All games deserve to be preserved, no matter how terrible.
I mean, both games are very cheap and easy to get out in the wild so they aren't even rare; if they included that point and click that was pretty hard to find then I think you'd see a lot more people backing this.
Hell, I even think the GB game is an OK time, but with them not even adding proper save states and having it so that when you load a save, it presses A (meaning if you save underneath an enemy in the game, quit, then come back, you'll jump right into them and die), it just comes off as a very cheap set.
Doubly so for the Boy and his Blob set, which I actually looked forward to until I noticed it had the same damn save and quit nonsense, no save states/bonuses besides the OST (and uh, Boy and his Blob and OST do not go together) and JP versions of the game (with no context with why they are there), and when I beat the NES boy and his blob with the speedrun trick, wow, they didn't even emulate the crowd noise sample! (It just makes static). A NES emulator in 2023 missing sound channels. Incredible.
So yeah like, as much as I did dig the Xtreme Sports GBC port this year, I feel anything with remote effort from Carbon so far is partly due to LRG working with publishers with $$$. And considering Embracer bought them
mainly because of this very engine, and how that company is holding on lately... Yeah, I think the CEOs made a really big mistake. When the unnamed Ratalaika Games wrapper for retro ports like Cotton and Turrican work better with more features than their "Carbon Engine" they hired a bunch of techie youtubers to make, that should be pretty telling that something continues to not be well at LRG, as has always been the case.
So yeah like, we could have had a set where at the very least, we got cool manual scans, save states, and limited bonuses, which would be remotely akin to preservation, rather than two games slapped together in a very shoddy emulator with a buggy save system that crashes on PS5 off and on, per people who own that version, which isn't preservation and more of "dumb CEO spends money on a scheme that backfires".
Boy and his Blob added maps, which helps for those games, but they seem to be yoinked from VGMaps, or at least gives me vibes of that website's map layout. (I'm gonna guess they did get permission for that though) Otherwise though when your company gets purchased up because of a "big thing", and that "big thing" ends up being pretty underwhelming, it doesn't look good as a whole
