I couldn't find that person, but I will search a bit more because it sounded cool when I did read the person's project.

While I was searching I stumbled over this (which is not what I was looking for but it sounds cool) :

Understood.

Interesting. Maybe I'd like to visit some time, though since I live on the opposite side of the United States I guess that won't be happening very soon unfortunately. Still cool though. Their efforts to preserve games in a playable state are truly admirable.

There's a petition started in the EU for forbidding developers to abandon games. (Some links seem to be only in German.)

Peter Interesting. It's not perfect but it appears to be a step in the right direction for both software/media preservation and software freedom. I'm American so I can't necessarily do too much myself but I'll spread the word so more Europeans can be aware of it.

I signed the Canadian version of Ross' petition.

Technopeasant Just thought you might be interested, a person on the r/foss version of this thread has apparently uploaded The Sheep Killer game files to a dedicated Internet Archive page.

And yes, I know it's been more than a year since the last post here.
