It doesn't really matter. 2 Gb DVD will be pervasive within a few years. Meanwhile, the CD's are so cheap you can make several copies to reduce your chance of short-term loss. Come 10 or 12 years from now, you probably couldn't find a device to read them You will have transferred them long before you have to worry about deterioriation. For example, I have some 5.25 inch floppies and can't find a drive to read them anywhere.

I have an old legacy system I built with Windows 98 on it just for the purpose of running old DOS games, etc.

I had to have a system that could run the old X-COM game I have. :)
