I've almost finished now. I'd say about half of those in my list are irretrievable - not showing up at all, or leading to 404 pages. But the other half worked via this method. Thanks!

No problem! You know, link rot and removal of games from a creator's side are tied to issues that are pretty complex.
From the perspective of somebody who makes things, there's definitely stuff I wish I could just remove from the timeline of my work; but at the same time, when you make something public, it's a public good, and no longer entirely yours. There's an interplay there between privacy and personal control over how one is perceived, and the human drive and cultural importance of archival.
I guess the conclusion I came to is: "What I published isn't mine anymore, so I won't destroy it, but I can certainly stop selling it."
"What I published isn't mine anymore, so I won't destroy it, but I can certainly stop selling it."
Yep, that's how I expect things to be! As an author I can cease selling my books, but anyone who has already bought a copy can keep it forever (print or ebook).
