yes, that's true. thanks for the link.
it is also remarkable that the preservation question is only raised in 
regards to "underappreciated games". as if incompatibility is only a 
question of selling figures. but maybe the strategy is worth to 
consider. if one claim that certain games were even forgotten during 
their market life one can more easily convince people that one must care 
for their preservation afterwards.
