        Established in 1997, Vimm’s Lair has been a popular place for folks to download classic video games that originated on a wide array of platforms, including N64, Sega Saturn, PlayStation 1, and Atari 260. Many of these games can’t be bought in stores or found in digital marketplaces, making Vimm’s Lair a useful place for those looking to check out pieces of video game history. However, Apple’s recent decision to allow emulators on the App Store has seen a massive influx of people looking for classic roms, and it seems all this attention has put Vimm’s Lair in lawyers’ spotlights.
