DOS ain't dead

On Wednesday, June 23rd, 2021 the Internet Archive was pleased to present the virtual event Game Not Over with John Carmack and a panel of video game luminaries, experts, and historians. For decades, gaming has been one of the central driving forces behind technological progress in the digital age -- from increased storage and memory needs to advancements in graphic capabilities, and even how we interact with and socialize around media and each other. How has this medium morphed and changed, and more importantly, how do we preserve this reflection of our culture into the future?

The presentation included a virtual fireside chat with John Carmack, independent AI researcher and Consulting CTO to Oculus/Facebook, followed by a panel discussion with Garry Kitchen, Industry Consultant and President/CEO of Audacity Games; Kelsey Lewin, Co-Director of the Video Game History Foundation; Kate Willært, Geek Culture Historian and Founder of A Critical Hit!; and Internet Archive's Free-Range Archivist Jason Scott as they looked at the past and present of the gaming industry, and why the Internet Archive is key to understanding both its history and its future. Game Not Over! was an Internet Archive fundraiser in support of software preservation and overall mission of Universal Access To All Knowledge.
