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

[Henry Lowood]

Andrew,

Yes, I looked at the presentations.  The problem I got stuck on was 
that a couple of them were more in the category of eye candy than 
presentations of the argument.  Do you still want to have a 
look?  Also, I wasn't able to find one of them, I think Warren's presentation.
