Replayed cover

A leading voice in technology studies shares a collection of essential essays on the preservation of software and history of games.

Since the early 2000s, Henry Lowood has led or had a key role in numerous initiatives devoted to the preservation and documentation of virtual worlds, digital games, and interactive simulations, establishing himself as a major scholar in the field of game studies. His voluminous writings have tackled subject matter spanning the history of game design and development, military simulation, table-top games, machinima, e-sports, wargaming, and historical software archives and collection development. Replayed consolidates Lowood's far-flung and significant publications on these subjects into a single volume.

Replayed is a valuable resource... I read the book and wished such a resource had been available when I first dipped my toes into game preservation and game history.
