And what are the odds that you still own the original console that you played it on?

According to a 2023 study by the Video Game History foundation, 87% of video games released before 2010

are endangered.

That means they can't be purchased or played on modern consoles or they've been lost to time entirely.

Unlike movies, television shows, and music,

accessing classic video games can be difficult,

and it often depends on the hardware you own.

So what happens when titles become unplayable?

For this edition of Game Mode, that's our series

where we cover video games in the gaming industry,

we're discussing the efforts being made

to preserve classic video games.
