U. of Mich. video game cache serves as an archive, at play
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — The University of Michigan collects video games.
Lots of them.
The Ann Arbor university’s Computer and Video Game Archive features over 7,000 titles — everything from time-honouredfavourites such as “Pac-Man” and “Frogger” to newer fare, including “Call of Duty” and “Halo”— on dozens of gaming systems.
Now in its 10th year, the CVGA collects video games in the same way that other archives pursue books, journals or historical artifacts.
