[game_preservation] Fwd: UK Offcicially Launches the First Videogame Archive

[Andrew Armstrong]

Yeah, this was mentioned a while back (on the blog and here) and they've 
finally released some more news about it, great.

I'll be at GameCity this year, I'll try and get more information or an 
interview, or even possibly visit the archive itself at some point. They 
were willing to be added to the contributions/donations list too, which 
is cool :D

If there is a bigger UK presence at the GDC roundtables next year, 
awesome! (I've no idea if I'll be there personally, but there'd not be 
many Europeans there to start with :) ).
