Firstly, let me just say I'm not sure if this is the right place for this specific post, and I went with my safest guess as to where to put it.
Now, many arcade games in the 1970s used 16mm projectors to display the game that is being played. Most of these film reels have gone missing, or have been destroyed. There is a small group of people trying to restore the existing film reels, and they are trying to find a way to make them playable.
People, this is our history. Video games mean a lot to me, and they mean a lot to many other people, too. The fact that these old arcade games (no matter how uninteresting and primitive they are) have been lost to time is almost saddening. So far, there hasn't been much success in making scans of the film projections public.
A YouTuber by the name of NintendoArcade has most of the Nintendo games that have been lost to history, including the reels. He hasn't made any scans, however. At least we know that they still exist, but it's a matter of collecting them.
If you guys have any information, or you think you can somehow help out, please do so. I'm trying to get the communities together.
I've been on this site for a little over a year and a half, and the commitment I've seen in you guys is commendable. I hope at least someone on here sees this and cares enough to help out.
