Welcome to the Vergecast, the flagship podcast of horizontal scan lines.

I'm your friend David Pierce and this is the second episode in our three-part

mini series about the future of gaming.

And today to talk about the future of gaming,

we're going to talk about the past of gaming.

Specifically, these decades of video games on old consoles

and old media systems, like remember the cartridges you had to blow in what happens to

those games as the companies that make them disappear and the consoles that they

worked on disappear and the CRT TV you plugged it into disappears. How do we save those games?

Do we want to save those games? What does it mean to save those games? That's what we're going to get into today.

My colleagues from Polygon, Chris Plant, and Russ Frustic are both back with me today to get into all of this.

I'm going to consult with them and then go out, try to find some answers, and then present them with my findings. Let's get into it.

Russ, hello, welcome back.

Hello.

Chris. Hello.
