I did translation hacks, fixes, and re-releases for the N64. Games: OoT/MQ, Majoras Mask, Shiren 2, Getter Love, Doshin, SimCity 64, 40 Winks, Glover, SSSV, etc. Now I do scanning, type-ins, and game preservation with Gaming Alexandria

This line from Video Games (Apr 83) was too prescient. One of the more frustrating things to me about the state of video game preservation is what feels like a general lack of interest in pre-'80s games; I will never stop banging the drum about the importance of '70s games (especially Death Race).
