“The consortium is just one part of a growing movement uniting academics, librarians, developers, and players around game preservation. The Video Game Archive at the University of Texas collects memos, beta versions, and other paraphernalia documenting the game-making process. Stanford, Michigan, and Berlin’s Computer Game Museum have amassed thousands of old games and consoles. And thousands of private collectors post source code online for so-called abandonware—games that no longer are published or supported by the companies that created them.”
