Music has the Rock and Roll hall of Fame and Visual arts have Met at the Louvre and Guggenheim. Radio and TV have the Museum of broadcast of Communications. So why are decades of priceless video game history relegated solely to “abandoware” sites , where old and discounted titles are saved from oblivion only through the dubiously legal efforts of diehard fans? The game industry is a fast moving business…. Unfortunately, as a result, it’s often so busy moving forward that it doesn’t do enough to preserve its past “said John Paul Dyson director of the International Center for the history of Entropic Games . the game meaning business is very much driven by the latest hit games “ Once a game is a few months old it’s considered dated and not exciting to game buyers it’s just the nature of a hit driven business.” Happily for video game fans, efforts to celebrate and pay tribute to pioneering games, software publishers and industry visionaries are quickly multiplying. Well I guess that it for today OK!
