According to reports
coming in from the University of Portsmouth, England, researchers from the
aforementioned University are in efforts to develop a universal game emulator.
This game emulator will be able to play all game technologies from the 1970s
until the present day. The primary aim of this software is to preserve software
from the early days of computers. The thought behind this is aptly summarized
by David Anderson of the Humanities Computing Group when he says that there is
no point in preserving games if people do not know how they were played. The
prior technology will be wasted and thus, instead of doing this, it should be
made transparent to people.
