I feel as though video games are the most underrepresented medium of preservation compared to other art forms like Books, Music and Movies.

[QUOTE="The Real Jdbye, post: 9753213, member: 248256"] Thanks to emulation and sites like No-Intro and Redump it's pretty much guaranteed video games will be preserved for the foreseeable future. Full packs are available for every console that ever existed. The devs and publishers are terrible at preserving their own games for future generations though. It's hit and miss what gets rereleased, ported, remastered or remade. Which is why I believe there should be a law that stipulates that if a company makes no effort to keep game(s) available to future generations, those games should go into the public domain to encourage preservation efforts by the emulation community. Anyway, in the end at least emulation is quite a good option for being able to replay older games from forgotten IPs. [ATTACH type="full"]298592[/ATTACH] Hmm, no seeds. Generally the pirates are very good at archiving just about anything under the sun (there are a lot of hoarders around) and that site has a lot of foreign stuff so I'm actually surprised it has no seeds. Surely someone out there still has the DVD in their collection but disc rot is a concern and it's likely that some day some lesser known/obscure titles will be lost to the ages because nobody cared enough about them to archive them in a future proof way. There isn't the same level of interest in preservation as there is in video games. [/QUOTE]
