Its realy a nice idea...but there are some major problems with it:

1. Gaming companies have merged (bought out) to huge entertainment mammoths, which have little to no interest other than making money, and won't even respond to such a petition.

2. Even if the respond, they will never rerelease their old stuff, because of 2 things: 1. the average user which makes the 99% of the gamers out, would see old games as garbage and thing that the company makes such games. 2. There would be 100s of technical problems with the old games, which would lead to a disaster for the companies. (some dumb fellow could even sue the company that the game he purchased won't run on his brand new system)

3. It is the sad truth the we the "old school" gamers, who like old games are minority for the industry, and as a minority our demands are not priorities for them.

I think there could only be 2 ways for this problem: Either the companies offer them for free to download thereby freeing themself from any liability or sell the rights to some other company who releases them. Unfortunately the 2. option is highly unlikly in the days of handheld games.
