Consoles, cartridges, discs, and tapes gather dust in lofts. Crucial prototypes get thrown away when studios go bust, rare versions of classic games are lost forever. Every day, we lose another little bit of our history.

We need a National Videogame Archive.

Luckily, we've just started one. We're going to preserve videogames for the nation. For better or worse. Forever. It's going to be brilliant, and you can find out more about it here...

What kinds of things are going to be in it? Good question. To get us started, we've asked the creators of some of the world's best-loved games to make the case for the titles they think are worth saving. Watch their videos here, and register below so we can keep you updated as we add more.
