[game_preservation] Remakes

[István Fábián]

Can't find the mail, but someone asked about remakes.

We are talking of 5,000 commercial titles on the Amiga platform only,
estimated 50+k titles in total depending on platforms and focus.
Remakes are fun, but in no way a substitute for the real thing, especially
as technology now permits replicating/emulating most of the original,
contemporary titles without modification regarding content including code,
graphics and sound.

Preservation of the social as well as digital artifacts of the era are both
important.
We at SPS (CAPS) have the technology, and many people including Simon or
Henry work on the social and legal issues surrounding digital artifacts,
libraries and other projects.
