Whether it's Mire Mare or a BASIC tape you found in the attic, it needs to be preserved digitally. Post here and experts can help to do so.

I was surfing in the Games that time forgot page and came across this game that was recovered by the author himself:

Yes,there is a lot of new stuff present at Game That Time Forgot Page.

I wonder if we should make separate threads about each of them. Maybe we could upload them here? ;)

Many if not all of these titles are tech demos or little more, and hardly playable, if playable at all.

Shall they be archived as "demo" versions then?

They are not really demos, just incomplete games. It's probably enough to mark them as "Never released - recovered", since this classification already implies they were made available "as is".
