[game_preservation] MSN interviews Joe Santulli

[Stuart Feldhamer]

That video is pretty cool (although those Keno brothers, whoever they are,
seem like losers).

 

I am impressed with that guy's collection to say the least. However, I want
to point out that there are several members of the software collectors'
mailing list (most of whom if not all primarily collect games) on the list
for this SIG. So if you're looking for information on collecting, look
within. : )

I'll put a link on the blog, although I couldn't get the video to work in
Opera or Firefox (??? stupid msn site restricted to IE stuff I guess)

Our "Collectors" page still needs finishing, so yeah, information would be
great. An interview would be nice, perhaps since you want to talk to him
anyway (and the question about Digit Press catalogues would be part of an
interview) do you want to shoot him a email? If not, I'll try and do so
later this week.

And if anyone can tell me how to work the internets and get the video (a
direct link to the file might be nice) will get a cookie :)

Joe Santulli is the guy who runs Digital Press, one of the best classic game
catalogs out there (as well as a big store in New Jersey). He's got a
collection of 30k titles along with the encyclopedic knowledge behind them.
I'm thinking now that he's been interviewed that he would be great
contact/interview material for the SIG and would be a key player as a
network for the indie collectors out there. I think we can ask him some
questions about what he thinks about the state of game collecting and how
that relates to preservation - maybe even what he'd have to say about the
White Paper. Actually, I kinda want to e-mail him as well as I want to know
when the next Digit Press catalogue is coming out!
