On today's episode: video games as we know them have been around for nearly 50 years, with the release of the Magnavox Odyssey in September of 1972. Over time the industry grew, crashed, revived, and re-grew, and we have experienced 9 generations of consoles and games with memories and experiences tied to each. But to experience those classics in their original form this day and age has become a challenge, as the efforts to maintain a large swath of titles including those with now-defunct online services increases with complexity each and every day. What does that mean for those working to collect and archive these games? Well, let's talk about it in this week's topic: Video Game Preservation.
