vga256<p>how badly did infocom want to sell this as a Wasteland competitor? take a look at the back of the boxes. they even used the same typeface. left: Mines of Titan. right: Wasteland. </p><p><a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/bigboxgames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bigboxgames</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/gamePreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gamePreservation</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/infocom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>infocom</span></a></p>
vga256<p>it is safe to say that 90% of my taste in computer games is thanks to the original abandonware site Home of the Underdogs. every few months i’d make it a point to download one of their Top Dog awarded games, and all of them lived up to it. </p><p>in particular, westwood/infocom’s Mines of Titan always interested me. it never quite fit into infocom’s IF catalog, and it predated the much more popular Eye of the Beholder. i always avoided it because it looked like just another dungeon crawler. </p><p>as it turns out, Mines of Titan is far closer to Wasteland or Neuromancer than any other game. part text adventure, part rpg, it evokes a surprisingly unique world that easily fits in a philip k dick styled universe. </p><p>today, the box arrived after two decades of looking for one. per infocom’s exceptional marketing company, the browsies included in the box are wonderful - official letterheads and employee bulletins from mars corporations. </p><p><a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/infocom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>infocom</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/dosgaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dosgaming</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/gamePreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gamePreservation</span></a></p>

vga256<p>digital preservation and archivist friends: it came to my attention recently that mobygames was bought by some trashy atari holding corporation a few years ago. all of the scans and item entries that many of us slaved over for the past 25 years were sold off. anyone submitting mobygames entries/updates are effectively working for free now.</p><p>i can't say i'm unhappy to see it going downhill with the new owners. updates to entries went from taking 1 day for approval from moderators, to 4-6 months.</p><p>it also had a frustrating limitation of declaring any software outside of its very traditional definition of game as out-of-scope.</p><p>that being said, it's a critical service for those researching and writing about games.</p><p>i'd like to know if there are any publicly-owned database initiatives in development to replace and/or subsume mobygames.</p><p>and if not, let's build one.</p><p><a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/mobygames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mobygames</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/digipres" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>digipres</span></a> <a href="https://dialup.cafe/tags/gamePreservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gamePreservation</span></a></p>

HeroOfDermwood<p>The AAA video games industry's shear hostility toward games preservation is just insane. Nintendo is here burning the entire emulation scene to the ground in the off chance that 1 person might pirate a video game.

Timothy Green<p>🕰️The Century Game Jam is going on now! It's a very laid-back Jam where ANYONE can submit games at ANY TIME for THE REST OF THEIR LIVES!</p><p>This was inspired by a Game Jam I ran across that is currently ongoing and is supposed to last for a decade. The purpose of this Jam is to promote long-term preservation of video games - past, present, and future - and have them continue to work potentially forever, so that people generations from now can enjoy the games that we make today!</p><p>There is only one rule, really - NSFW submissions are not allowed. That means explicit sex, gore, and strong language should not be present in your game, else it will be removed. If you want to preserve such games, I recommend starting your own Jam for that!</p><p>👉🏻Interested in preserving your games?
