[game_preservation] Star Raiders profile (Digital Game Canon) posted on Gamasutra

[Andrew Armstrong]

Okay, I added it to the wiki 
<http://www.igda.org/wiki/Game_Preservation_SIG/Digital_Game_Canon>, 
which I forgot to do despite doing a quick blog entry 
<http://www.igda.org/preservation/> on it.

Also; regarding the Digital Games Project, was anyone able to gather 
information about the original GDC2007 panel? The actual page still 
lacks information as to why the panel at the time thought these 10 were 
needing preservation. Not a major issue, but should be sorted at some 
point really :)
