The Japanese Game Preservation Society - 2024 news

Game Preservation Society :

https://www.gamepres.org/en/
 
The Game Preservation Society is a non-profit organization run by volunteers who possess professional skills and knowledge related to game preservation. In Japan, although there are those who love games and work to protect them in their own way, there wasn’t an organization that connected those people. The Game Preservation Society was founded to accomplish that.
 
Currently, our members gather for various activities, all related to the preservation of old games (PC, console, and arcade). Our members possess a variety of skills, such as game mastering, hardware expertise, setting up databases, collecting and conserving software resources, image processing techniques etc.
 
There is a large amount of resources and problems specific to game preservation, and it is all too much for any individual to handle. By disclosing more information, we hope to generate more cooperation efforts in order to make our task more workable.
