"If you often wonder how a video game gets preserved, I will let you know now
that it has nothing to do with putting one of the many installation discs for
Accountant Dating Sim 19 in a jar of jam.
The National Film and Sound Archive (NFSA) very recently appointed Chris Arneil
as their Assistant Curator in Games, which is the first time they have had
someone in a full-time role regarding video game curation in their archive.
This means they will be bringing in a stronger focus on preserving and
archiving video games made in Australia, which was something that we saw when
the NFSA worked with ACMI and Powerhouse to acquire
Untitled Goose Game. This
was done to assure that a classic like this would always be accessible as the
years go by.
To learn a little more about what goes into the work of preserving games, as
well as how the NFSA will go about archiving the history of the Australian
video games industry, I decided to sit down and have a chat with Arneil."
