I'd copy my Doom and Quake folders, hoping the modern sourceports still work on them. Well, PrBoom+ and ZDoom should both work. Then all my emulators up to the 32-bit era, some music and the seasons of Kamen Rider and Ultraman that I'm currently watching.Honestly I could just bring my actual external hard drive or my HP laptop from 2013 that I installed Linux on. It's what I got on those.

Eh, if it's installed on your machine you get to keep whatever it is. I have both Kega and Retroarch installed for Genesis emulation anf it's alright. I think Ares does that too?

It's not not called a "marketing black hole" for nothing. Even hotly awaited games come out on EGS and just vanish into obscurity until they're on other storefronts.
