[game_preservation] game_preservation Digest, Vol 26, Issue 20

[Chris Lepine]

Hi folks, I'd just like to introduce myself to the list. Andrew  
invited me to check out the mailing list and see if I can contribute  
something to the Game Preservation projects. Thanks for the comments  
on the article - although it is quite sketchy (at best) since I could  
not go into much depth with some of the problems I introduce there.

If there's anything I can contribute in terms of writing or research  
- especially in the realm of video/computer game history - I'd be  
happy to. In future years I intend to teach a couple of courses on  
the history and psychology of video/computer games and narrative, so  
anything I can do now is always helpful prep work for the future.

Cheers!
- Chris
