Almost 90% of classic video games are critically endangered, according to a new study. My first video game console was the Game Boy, a portal to many hours of adventure and excitement. The study was conducted by checking the availability of 1,500 randomly selected video games released before 2010 across every type of console and PC. The study's author says the availability of these classic video games is even worse than the survival rate of silent-era films. The next discussion over video games' copyright law is slated for 2024, and the clock is ticking.
