 ==== Why is this important? ====
-Video games have played a large role in our cultural history for decades, but we're at risk of losing many older games forever. Floppy disks, CDS, and other physical media have begun to reach the end of their lifespan and it's often no longer possible to access an uncorrupted copy of their data. Even for games that haven't yet succumbed to bit rot, playing them often requires obsolete technology.

 We need to preserve these artifacts of cultural development so future generations can appreciate and learn from them.
