Preserving the History of Video Games

This Sydney Morning Herald Article is about the arrival of the Game On exhibition at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, where it will run through mid-summer (or mid-winter in down-under terms). The article outlines what they describe as the "race" that's underway to preserve the history of video games, which is falling more and more on museums and libraries, rather than individual enthusiasts. This includes the difficulties in maintaining aging hardware, and the perceived importance of preserving such culturally significant artifacts in their original form, rather than relying on emulators to play games on newer systems.
