However I don't think those batteries will be used anymore so I doubt they'll be manufactured. So there will be a finite amount that will run out. --- End quote --- Batteries aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Not in our lifetime or the next. |

Not only for retro games. If It's starting to die out I'm pretty sure that some retrogame store will see chance to produce them for profit. |

In 50 years I'll be 96 so IF I'm around I doubt I'll care. I probably won't be able to feed myself or wipe my own ass let alone play video games :D |
