Any preservation is excellent. We aim for completeness for future generations.

Collectors or retrogaming owners have additional responsability, they should assure the legacy for future generations by digitally preserving software, it's part of a generation history.
It's a shame that myself and other Foreign guys seem to care more about UK software history than most Brits or other folks in their original release Countries...

None of these titles were produced by 1 or 10 units, in 99,9% of cases the production and distribution was from hundreds to thousands, so a few thoughts come up to my mind, 1st one already mentioned, most seems not to bother (wtf...), 2nd a few peps think the stuff they own will worth more while not being digitally preserved, so about the former and to all those I am sorry to tell I will ruin that type of business model, 7300 original titles at my collection and I can assure that every single one will be preserved.

Actually, most of the latest batch of homegrown games you've posted won't have sold triple figures... some won't have sold more than fifty... so it's great to see the inlays preserved. I've never seen a many of them before, despite knowing the guys who made them. Thanks for sharing your collection.

This is fantastic that they're being preserved and uploaded, but is it possible to have them updated in a single thread please?

The multiple new threads make the Forum Home's Recent Topics a nightmare to read! Maybe I'm lazy, but the Recent Topics feature is really handy to find out what's been posted, however it's really difficult to find out what's being posted. Just a bit of user feedback....

Conversely, I really like having them in separate threads. I can easily spot ones of interest.
