Gaming preservation is super important, even the bad things need to be preserved.
Bad games can serve as a really useful education tool, but also, I think some "bad games" probably aren't as bad as we are led to believe. I am mostly looking at things that AVGN has spoken about like Street Fighter 2010 The Final Fight.

@ishambard @scribblemacher "Bad" is a relative term when it comes to art. This includes video games. One person's fav is another person's least favorite thing in the world. And both opinions are valid. I had Balloon Pop for the Wii. A pretty shovelware looking game, per most. But, I loved it. It was a fun puzzle game.

@ishambard @scribblemacher on that point, ET really wasn't that bad either. It's said to be inscrutable but all the information you need is in the manual. These knuckleheads played it and kinda proved that point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEQOmiFArek
