History of Digital Archives and Preserving Old Video Games

[Elvin]

Hi everyone! I remember playing Mario Bros and other classic games as a kid, and now I often play them on new platforms. But what will happen to these games in a few decades? I heard that some places are working on preserving them so that future generations can see what games looked like in the past. I wonder how much effort and time is spent on this?

You are right, preserving video games is indeed an important thing. In recent years, digital archivists in Silicon Valley have been doing this. They are working to preserve not only old games, but also the technology that was used to create them. This is because video games have become an important part of American culture, and they need to be preserved for future generations. One of the interesting projects dedicated to preserving video games can be found on this site https://www.arcadepunks.com/americas-virtual-history-the-rise-of-digital-game-archives/ . It is important that new generations know how the gaming industry developed, as well as who was behind its creation.

Yes, it is interesting that old games are becoming so important. I myself play classic games on old consoles and often think about how difficult it is to find them in their original form. It is like preserving films or books, which are also part of our history. It is important that such archives continue to develop, otherwise they can simply disappear.
