Description

Physical media like floppy disks and optical discs have a limited lifespan, and their time is running out. Because of this, a whole generation of games are at risk of being lost forever. While we can’t save everything, there is still hope. A global community of game historians and preservationists are working to save games history, one disk at a time. This story comes from our sister podcast Gameplay.
