<br/><br/> We purchase video games to play them, not to save them. What happens to video games when they are out of date, broken, nonfunctional, or obsolete? Should a game be considered an 'ex-game' if it exists only as emulation, as an artifact in museum displays, in an archival box, or at the bottom of a landfill? Here, Raiford Guins focuses on video games not as hermetically sealed within time capsules of the past but on their material remains: how and where video games persist in the present.
