1. Emulators:
Where are the legal ROMs? Starroms is one provider, are their others? Intellivission gives away a few games on their web site as a way to suck you into buying their compilations, are there others? Have any manufacturers just released their stuff into the public domain?

2. Compilations
Intellivision sells collections of their old games pretty much anway you'd want 'em. CDs for PCs, "TV Game" controllers with embedded SW, cell phones, etc. Are their other companies reselling their old products across multiple platforms? To PCs?

3. "TV Games"
Molded Controllers that connect directly to a TV set, Jakks TV Games and Radica UK are two companies that do this? What do they sell? Are there other companies doing it?

4. Magazines and Web Sites.
Retrogames and retrogamer out of the UK are two, what else can you find?
