A colleague at George Washington University needs some help with an #archaeogaming project, tracking down an elusive fan-created level from the South Korean mobile game, Geometry Dash. To learn more about the problem, see this video by YouTuber Stormfly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2VOlxhduII. Fox Besch is working with the player community to create a history of the game, of which this missing level is an integral part. If you can help, please write Fox at [email protected]. #Retrogaming #MediaArchaeology
