Thanks to HD remasters, digital distribution and the Internet Archive (http://www.engadget.com/2014/11/04/internet-archive-arcade-defender-zaxxon/)that's becoming less of an issue. But we still need to do more to keep a record and constant catalog of gaming's past moments. That's the idea behind the awkwardly named "Intellivision Gen2 Video Games for PC & Mac" on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/756513245/intellivision-gen2-video-games-for-pc-and-mac/video_share?ref=video). As you might imagine, it's modernized versions of Intellivision titles (http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/29/nycs-wpix-resurrects-intellivision-gaming-segment-for-morning-n/). Astrosmash, Nightstalker andShark! Shark! will get the new pixel art, expanded levels and scope should the project reach its $100,000 goal.
