Game Mode: Saving Classic Video Games

Game Mode: Saving Classic Video Games

By NPR

Think back to your earliest video game memories.

As technology changes and video games become increasingly released only on digital, many of the titles you grew up on may be unplayable today.

87% of classic video games — those released before 2010 — are in danger of being lost to time. That's according to a study from the Video Game History Foundation.

In this edition of Game Mode, our series where we cover video games and the gaming industry, we'll talk about the efforts being made to preserve classic video games.
