Capturing Game History Bits by Bits
Classic video games are a dying art. Not just through output or industry challenges, but due to how we play and present games for the future generations. Across Youtube channels and development circles, retro enthusiasts have tirelessly been working to create technical solutions, develop stories and uncover the lost arts from the past to educate the future. What is the right way to showcase a retro game? How do you research software no longer available for public consumption?
