Sheffield is preparing to level up the mission to save the nation's video games for posterity with a new cultural history project.
The National Videogame Museum in the city is home to Behind the Screens - the first effort to create a national archive of video game design.
Keeping games as cultural assets is becoming more important as developers rely less on physical releases, but the project also wants to record people's experiences of living through games.
Behind the Screens is supported by the British Film Institute's Screen Heritage Fund.
One of the early jobs of the project is to conduct the first comprehensive survey of games materials held by development studios.
