Hit Save! is an organization dedicated to the preservation of video games, and last month they launched Hit Save! Always On, a new initiative to help make their vast archive of trailers, interviews, and behind-the-scenes footage a bit more accessible:
We at Hit Save! are thrilled to announce the launch of our 24/7 stream dedicated to preserving video game history. This initiative will showcase promotional videos, behind-the-scenes footage, interviews, and other valuable material from our extensive physical archive. Come join us as we embark on a journey to celebrate the heritage of gaming and ensure its preservation in the digital age.
Our physical archive is a treasure trove of gaming artifacts that spans decades. Through our 24/7 stream, we aim to showcase the information we are preserving, offering viewers an interesting and fun view into the evolution of gaming.
The livestream currently lives on Hit Save!’s YouTube channel and it’s been running continuously since May 30. The selection of videos is very impressive, and having it on in the background while writing this article meant I was also able to hear Mark Hamill, Tom Wilson, and Ginger Allen talk about their involvement in Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger in a vintage behind-the-scenes featurette from the early 1990s.
I can’t wait to see what pops up next.
