Hello all,<br>I guess I should pop out of lurk mode and introduce myself.<br>My name is Eve Deitsch, I am the Localization Specialist at Pokemon USA in Bellevue, WA. I'm on a few lists within the IGDA (localization, women, writers, and preservation) because of my interests and position in the gaming industry.<br>
I joined this list after cleaning up my storage room and moving my 5th box of Commodore paraphernalia. I've been a bit of a packrat about my games, and I won't get rid of anything. The largest section of my collection is the Commodore (Vic 20, 64, and 128) selection, but I also have most of the major consoles from the NES forward. As I was sorting through old software boxes, manuals, magazines, programming books, I thought I should should see if anyone was archiving information about these old games, and that led me to find the Preservation SIG within the IGDA.<br>
I'd be interested in meeting with anyone else in the area to talk games or contribute to preservation efforts. I'm not throwing anything in my collection away, but I don't want it to just sit there forever gathering dust, either. I'd be happy to help.<br>

Hi all,<br>

while. I'm sure you'll join with me in welcoming them!<br>

Please take a moment to introduce yourselves and tell us about your<br>
