9 out of 10 gone – Why classic video games are an endangered species

Date:

The memory of their first victory over a gaming villain is something very special for video gamers. However, anyone who wants to experience it again decades later often looks down the drain. 90 percent of all classic computer and video games are no longer available anywhere.

They are made into movies and their heroes are pop culture icons. In 2023, one can confidently say that video and computer games are considered cultural assets. Unlike books or films, games are rarely reissued. This means that with the end of the original hardware, a lot of the variation will be lost. We look at the causes, show how enthusiasts use legally problematic methods to preserve classic games – and take a look at a bleak future.
