Does anyone else remember Tux Racer, the old #Linux racing game from way back? Does anyone else also remember tuxracer.fubaby.com, where people would share their courses? Any way to download all the courses again? Sorry, but I want to upload all of them on the Internet Archive. I could only retrieve some of them from the Wayback Machine.

Guys, get out your Internet Archive accounts. A video game repository called Myrient is closing down tomorrow, and a staggering 390+ terabytes of data will disappear with it. I am currently saving webpages at /Eggman's Arcade Repository/!EXTRAS/. Unfortunately, nearly all the saves are 404 errors, even though the files can still be downloaded directly from the site, so we may need to upload them.

The MARVEL MaXimum Collection is out—and it’s one of the more thoughtful retro bundles in a while.

Six classic games, multiple versions, and modern features that actually make them playable today. Not just nostalgia—something you can genuinely enjoy.

새로 등장한 'vibe coded' AI 번역 도구가 비디오 게임 보존 커뮤니티 내에서 논쟁을 일으키고 있습니다. 자동 번역이 원작의 분위기·문체·문화적 맥락을 훼손할 수 있다는 우려와 보존·접근성 향상이라는 주장 사이에 찬반이 갈리고 있어 게임 로컬라이제이션과 보존 관행에 영향을 줄 가능성이 제기됩니다.
