The Museum of Dead Code
Where do videogames go to die? If they're in the UK: the National Videogame Archive. Gamasutra reports on this new initiative from Nottingham Trent University and the UK National Media Museum, which one scholar describe as "an important resource for preserving elements of our national cultural heritage. It will not only be a vital academic resource to support growing disciplines in videogame studies but will also be something that the general public can fully engage with."
The UK has been at the forefront of ludology - the academic study of videogames, and it's nice to see this latest initiative to preseve game art and culture.
