Duke’s Legacy: Video Game Source Disc Preservation at the Library of
Congress | The Signal: Digital Preservation
Several months ago, while performing an inventory of recently acquired
video games, I happened upon a DVD-R labeled *Duke Nukem: Critical Mass
(PSP)*. My first assumption was that the disc, like so many others we have
received, was a DVD-R of gameplay. However, a line of text on the Copyright
database record
<http://cocatalog.loc.gov/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?v1=2&ti=1,2&Search_Arg=duke%20nukem%3A%20critical%20mass&Search_Code=TALL&CNT=25&PID=5TMe_nYTZjcNMus0vEFf8fGGL7gFC&SEQ=20140715105426&SID=1>
for the item intrigued me. It reads: Authorship: Entire video game;
computer code; artwork; and music. I placed the disc into my computer’s DVD
drive to discover that the DVD-R did not contain video, but instead a file
directory, including every asset used to make up the game in a wide variety
of proprietary formats.
