[game_preservation] Digital Game Museum?

[Henry Lowood]

All,

I just read a short piece by Tom Halfhill in Maximum PC about a new 
"Digital Game Museum" in Silicon Valley.  At first, I assumed that he 
meant the MADE, but he also said he was on the Board, and I didn't 
remember anything about him in connection with the MADE.   So I looked 
it up the old-fashioned way: a Google search.

Well, here it is:
http://www.digitalgamemuseum.org/

It seems to be very, very new -- maybe only a couple of weeks.  I don't 
find any dates earlier than April 29th on the site, though the pages are 
copyright 2010. The website is very thin on content, and the small 
collection is tiny -- probably just a couple of small, random gifts.  I 
briefly considered that this might even be a joke of some sort.

While considering that possibility something caught my eye that bothered 
me: Check out the logo.  Look familiar?

Does anybody know anything about this operation?  What do you think 
about the logo?  Is it something we (I guess that means me) should ask 
them about?

Henry
