Good luck finding a semi obscure 15 year old game on the high seas.

You might be surprised. Plenty of sites backing up whatever they can. Try archive.org and various abandonware sites.

Or, I might not be surprised at all. You might find Borderlands for the next 20 years, but what about the games that only sold like 40k copies to begin with?
