video game preservation

Video game preservation involves maintaining and protecting digital and physical games to ensure they remain accessible and playable for future generations. This includes safeguarding original software, hardware, and related materials, as well as documenting their history and cultural significance. Preservation efforts address challenges like hardware deterioration, software obsolescence, and copyright issues. The goal is to prevent the loss of gaming history, allowing both enthusiasts and researchers to study and enjoy classic games long after their initial release. Ultimately, it preserves an important part of digital culture and entertainment heritage.
