We've actually been pondering about that idea for some time now, but it is slowly becoming apperant that it will never happen, sadly. At least when it comes to NES and SNES.

I've had long debates with Nintendo about the possibility for such a site, where we work close to them and have strict rules for which games we can host on the site (and which games would only get a review), but Nintendo is very clear. No sites will ever get Nintendo's permission to host any ROMs for either NES or SNES. Which, by AB's rules, means that all these games are forever and ever considered Protected (and since Nintendo is an ESA member, that makes the games ESA Protected as well).

Which leaves Amiga and so on. I can't really say much about that, as I have absolutely no idea about Amiga, and never owned one myself. In fact, I don't think I have ever played a game on an Amiga. Actually, I don't even know what an Amiga looks like.
