[game_preservation] Welcome to new members

[Eve Deitsch]

Hello all,
I guess I should pop out of lurk mode and introduce myself.
My name is Eve Deitsch, I am the Localization Specialist at Pokemon USA in
Bellevue, WA.  I'm on a few lists within the IGDA (localization, women,
writers, and preservation) because of my interests and position in the
gaming industry.
I joined this list after cleaning up my storage room and moving my 5th box
of Commodore paraphernalia.  I've been a bit of a packrat about my games,
and I won't get rid of anything.  The largest section of my collection is
the Commodore (Vic 20, 64, and 128) selection, but I also have most of the
major consoles from the NES forward.  As I was sorting through old software
boxes, manuals, magazines, programming books, I thought I should should see
if anyone was archiving information about these old games, and that led me
to find the Preservation SIG within the IGDA.
I'd be interested in meeting with anyone else in the area to talk games or
contribute to preservation efforts.  I'm not throwing anything in my
collection away, but I don't want it to just sit there forever gathering
dust, either.  I'd be happy to help.
Eve Deitsch

Hi all,

We've had a few new subscribers joining the list over the last little
while.  I'm sure you'll join with me in welcoming them!

Please take a moment to introduce yourselves and tell us about your
projects and interests.  It helps others to know who is on the list,
and what is happening in the worlds of game preservation.

regards,

Melanie (moderator)
