Maybe it was just me but they didn't have much of a collection. Some obscure and hard to find but any time I was looking for something obscure and not easy to find they never had it.
Some system collections were pretty big so hopefully others can archive those.
I saw that there's a community effort to save the entire archive and they were nearly done (or at least are on track to be done before the shutdown occurs). That being said, I haven't been following this super closely so I might be getting the details wrong.

I really wish we could get libraries to handle video game preservation.

This sucks. I used them a lot.

I never heard of them now but video game preservation is as important as film or music preservation.

They had 390 TB of data, so if anything, people are probably archiving it (at least, I hope so).

It'd be real dope if it were true.
