Created by Nottingham Trent University, the first ever video game archive has been launched in the U.K. The archive will be home to all sorts of games, ranging from the old as dirt Pong to major hits now!
The archive will, in fact, be located at the National Media Museum, and managed by Nottingham Trent University's Centre for Contemporary Play. Interestingly, along with games and consoles, the archive will also include a wide swath of game-related media, such as advertising campaigns, artwork, and "the communities that sustain them" (which we really hope doesn't mean they'll be preserving the average videogame forum post).
