The Collection Chamber

quote [ Many games and movies are held within the Collection Chamber's vault, unseen by modern means. It's time for them to be released. ]

This is a modern take on abandonware, compiling overlooked games with patches to work on current machines. Very diligent, very interesting, oftentimes quite bizarre findings. Via the Virtualmoose blog roundup.

While Achavanuntakul responded by taking the links down, and fully acknowledged the illegality of the site, she argued that there was a moral imperative to preserve games, especially when rights holders? refused to make their games available to consumers. And because the designers of games often weren?t the owners of the IP, they had a different view of HotU than their own publishers. One designer that emailed in to thank HotU for its archival efforts, according to Achavanuntakul, was Chris Crawford, the maker of Excalibur and Balance of Power.
