[game_preservation] KEEP - major European research project on emulation starts

[Vincent Joguin]

Hi everyone,

I suppose I should introduce myself at this stage.
Apart from what Philippe has recently kindly mentioned about me, I 
have a number of interests linked to games and games preservation.
I have been active on the emulation scene since around 1995, at first 
starting with an Amiga emulator that never reached usable stage 
(WinUAE is now so capable!), then shifting to Atari ST (FAST, and 
IKBD part of SainT) and Tandy 1000 (Tand-Em) emulation. Apart from 
SainT, all these are now fully obsolete :-)
I have also been working on the Disk2FDI software that is able to 
create accurate disk images from any kind of floppy disk.

Although I haven't been much of a gamer for the past 15 years, I have 
kept a particular interest into classic adventure games such as 
Sierra/LucasArts (I have a large King's Quest collection for 
instance), among other genres. I have also been slightly active on 
the French demoscene in the late 90's.

I'd like to thank Andreas and Dan for the nice KEEP introduction, and 
members of this SIG for their interest in our project.

All the best,
Vincent.
