On the differences between PC game preservation and console game preservation

(FF) (F) 60 HDoomguy @HDoomguy . Jan 1 i was setting up a dosbox thing of an obscue thing nobody's ever streamed for an art vtubey friend and it occurred to me like it's wild but not entirely unsurprising how unlike console games, whole-ass old computer games can get forgotten to the sands of time almost entirely 10.5K Q3 ♡ 101 소 HDoomguy @HDoomguy. Jan 1 like this isn't just some old shareware or freeware thing either that can get lost in the sea of internet, this hilariously garbage game had like a big box and everything but like 5 people have ever played it and even youtube only has 1 longplay and its from 2021 ₁1,572 Q 1 1,491 HDoomguy @HDoomguy. Jan 1 the reason for this is actually pretty simple though these games get completely overlooked and forgotten about entirely because PC games weren't regulated by PC manufacturers. 19 12 1 Consoles games were, and thus were all individually licensed, indexed and sometimes even counted. O 1 1,915 27 ♡ 36 2,073 اور HDoomguy @HDoomguy. Jan 1 It's the reason you can find lists or videos of every officially licensed game for a Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft/Sega/etc system. There's official lists of them since they were all licensed for the respective consoles, and people go through those lists and go 'hey w-- is this' 1,518 Q 2 27 ₁1,902 ♡ 25 ↑ ♡ 21 HDoomguy @HDoomguy - Jan 1 you are literally never going to find a list of every single MS-DOS or Windows 95/98/whatever game because nobody was licensing and indexing them, so if a game gets overlooked there's no big list that references its existence. It's just lost until its dug up again ₁3,064 O 2 17 6 ♡ 40 27 ↑ HDoomguy @HDoomguy. Jan 1 ironically though this kinda protects PC gaming from getting penetrated too deep by speculative value collector assholes. There's no big list of games with how many copies were produced or anything like that, so nobody can actually confidently quantify how rare anything is. Q 1 27 2 ♡32 ↑ HDoomguy @HDoomguy • Jan 1 and, because there's no 'official list' and PC is an active, evolving platform anyways, it makes completionist collection null and void. Completionism and numbered rarity, in contrast, is why you can see a console game that is a giant p------------ listed for big $ if rare enough O 1 22 ♡ 29 32 ↑ ↑ HDoomguy @HDoomguy. Jan 1 anyways there's some tangents but tldr this is why digging through old computer game stuff is the most fun and adventurous, you never know 100% whats out there O 2 ↑ ↑

Apache Wins!

Ah, the late 90s! What an era of gaming! Jane's Longbow 2 was a successor to the previous Longbow, introducing a dynamic campaign and multiplayer, along with 3Dfx and Direct3D graphics acceleration. You could still run it in software mode, of course. At the time, it was the most realistic Apache game out there, though it has since been eclipsed.

Raptor: Call of the Shadows

An old 90s classic, Raptor was simple: blow up enemies, earn money, get upgrades. The soundtrack was particularly notable and it made up one of the era's shareware titles, along with DOOM, Descent, Jazz Jackrabbit, and others. It's available on Steam and GOG.
