[game_preservation] ELSPA Database

[Jan Baart]

Unfortunately ELSPA does not exist anymore, it was closed and replaced 
by the UKIE in 2010. Which means there is no way to get in contact with 
them, unless with a person that used to work their prior to the closure. 
As far as I understand UKIE is a completely different organization which 
means it is not a given that the same personnel is still in place nor 
that the UKIE is actually in possession of the ELSPA rating database. 
Hence my inquiry on this list. Of course I will try to get in touch with 
the UKIE but I was hoping someone here actually knew whether or not they 
are the right body to address.
