I've been retro gaming before it was even considered retro gaming.
As for the charging for mods thing, I think this can greatly change the way artists and developers can get noticed by the industry by having portfolio building be lucrative. On the other hand, I'm afraid this will become a bullshit "gold rush" that causes the well of free mods to dry up.
Lots of hubbub over this mod fiasco and I feel that it is rightly so. Some mods are even now being taken down, because they include other people's modded material. That was some of the beauty of modding in general was that people could work off of other people's work to make some bigger and better stuff. Release it for free and people are like, "Go ahead, use my stuff, you are doing great!" But now, if you charge for it, you are stealing other people's work.
I don't agree with this system. It has to work as a tip-based system, because there is no way people should pay $.75 for a stinking armor set and then have the modder receive >$.10 of that.

25% of something is more than 100% of nothing.
Between willingly giving free stuff to the internet and someone earning more money than me for my job... i prefer the first.
And you're totally free to continue doing that so I don't see what the fuss is. They're not forcing people to charge for their mods. The option is there if they want it.

Are you playing the NES or arcde version?
NES. I make attempts on it in between longer activities.

Yeah, this. Probably you didn't notice because of the perspective change.
