Video game heritage is taken seriously by National Library of Scotland - This machine allows access to Amiga magazine coverdisks imaged from their legal deposits. They asked us how to incorporate real hardware and we discussed ideas around capturing the original experience.

We need to see more of this please!

Today I had the pleasure of presenting at the nationalmuseumsscotland Playable Heritage event. It was great to sing the praises of our community and to share the message with museums and institutes in attendance just how powerful you are, and how strongly we feel about preserving video game heritage. Thank you to all involved in organising it, and to Ravi Abbott and Mike Dailly for dinner!
