This is the way that my sophomore year roommate obtained
literally hundreds of games for his PSX and N64 for almost free.
Generally he'd get his friends to rent a bunch of games, then
copy them off to CD (for a chipped PSX) or Zip disk (for N64 with
a funny plug-in adapter with built-in Zip interface).
