Play it again: preserving Australian videogame history

该项目旨在演示和评估在基于云的环境中对过时操作系统和程序的仿真，以记录、保存和展示数字文化遗产。保存和获取软件等复杂的数字文化遗产是世界各地的收藏机构所面临的挑战。该项目将通过恢复20世纪90年代澳大利亚制作的电子游戏的历史，保存当前面临风险的重要本地数字游戏文物，并研究如何使用最新的仿真技术将这些游戏作为可玩软件展示。该项目希望为政府、博物馆和行业提供所需的新知识，为未来的战略和基础设施投资提供信息，旨在向公众提供一系列数字文化遗产。

This project aims to demonstrate and evaluate the emulation of obsolete operating systems and programs in a cloud-based environment to document, preserve, and exhibit digital cultural heritage. The challenge of preserving and accessing complex digital cultural heritage such as software is one that collecting institutions worldwide are facing. This project will address this challenge by recovering the history of Australian made videogames of the 1990s, preserving significant local digital game artefacts currently at risk, and investigating how these can be exhibited as playable software using the newest emulation techniques. The project expects to generate new knowledge needed by government, museums and industry to inform future strategy and infrastructure investment aimed at making a range of digital cultural heritage available to the public.
