At a University Archive, Yesterday's Cutting-Edge Video Games Play On


At Universities, people are beginning to realize the importance of preserving the video game industry. The video game industry is only thirty years old; however, video games have tremendously transformed in those thirty years. The University of Texas at Austin has a video game archive that they have put into place. They are collecting game consoles and sketches of developing games. They hope to make people aware of the gaming history.  In my opinion, this is a great idea. We need to archive the different games before they are lost for good.  Furthermore, I believe that understanding the history of video games will create a deeper respect of gaming for younger generations.  I hope to teach video gaming history to my future students.  Video games are great tools to use in modern classrooms. I think that giving students an understanding of video gaming history will allow them to appreciate the games we have today.
