Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) To serve as the primary means of visual identification of the game through means of its gameplay characteristics in the section of the article related to those gameplay characteristics.
Not replaceable with
free media because
(WP:NFCC#1)
It's not replaceable. No one is making new 8-Bit computer games in BASIC for the ZX Spectrum anymore. Text alone cannot serve to memorialize and archive the history of such games that were made decades before many modern gamers were born. Text alone is insufficient to provide an accurate identification of gameplay characteristics without a graphical depiction. How can we identify and describe 8-Bit video game gameplay to someone who has never seen it without a visual depiction?
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3) It will only be used once in the gameplay section of the article
Respect for
commercial opportunities
(WP:NFCC#2)
Not applicable. The games and gaming systems haven't been made or sold commercially for decades.
