apologies to all my new followers here for awesome piano and instead getting my cursed arrangement of Majima's cursed karaoke song from Yakuza 0 (cheery J-pop number actually a Haydn divertimento hiding in plain sight: virtuosic runs, lively allegro, sick ass I-VI modulation Mozart would have loved)

29 long years have passed since I founded the emulation archive, Zophar's Domain, on 11.9.96. To this very day, the site still stands as a testament to an era that never actually disappeared but continues to live in the hearts of retrogamers all over the word. Emulation Forever!
