UK University Making Universal Game Emulator

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.
