Preserving video games as historical artifacts

Preservation of video games is crucial to understanding the history of the medium. Similar to the early days of the film industry, many games from the past have been lost due to lack of preservation efforts. The video game history foundation focuses on preserving games and providing context to understand their significance in the broader cultural landscape. While there is a debate about whether games should be preserved as they originally were or if they should be updated for modern platforms, the goal is to ensure that these important pieces of history are not lost forever.
