It's a good time to preserve.
The Embracer Game Archive has been established in Sweden, with Embracer Group tasking the centre with the Herculean effort of gathering “all physical video games, consoles and accessories” in one place.
“I have been given the honourable task to lead the work of building up this unique Games Archive,” reads a new webpage penned by CEO of the Embracer Games Archive, David Boström.
“Imagine a place where all physical video games, consoles and accessories are gathered at the same place. And think about how much that could mean for games’ culture and enabling video games research. This journey has just been started and we are at an early stage. But already now, we have a large collection to take care of at the Embracer Games Archive’s premises in Karlstad, Sweden.
“A team of experts has been recruited and will start building the foundation for the archive. At Embracer Games Archive, we believe that games carry a heritage worth celebrating and safeguarding for the future. Our goal is clear – We want to archive and save as much of the video games industry as possible.”
The archive already has 50,000 games, consoles and accessories and is working to build and catalogue those items. The archive is also on the hunt for more to add to its collection.
