    The way I understand it is if you own the game you should be fine

    I know it's usually wrong to assume (presume depending which English you speak) but in this case I think it's safe to assume the questioner hasn't paid for the game because then there would be no doubt to it's legality, it's also fairly safe to say that if the question of legality crosses your mind then, as in this case, it almost certainly is illegal.

    The above site is pretty good for testing your conscience.

    I have a 25 year old son.I don't know if he said"daddy or Toys R US
    more often for about 10 years spanning from 5- 15 years old.

    Since we really have a large box of the cartridges and the original Game
    Unit still works,I feel no guilt.

    I paid $50.00 for Zelda alone probably the value of all NES games combined today.

    Setting aside sound and graphics.....I haven't seen an RPG to beat Zelda yet.

    FF7, Baldurs Gate 2? There's two which easily beat it imo.
