I've seen remakes, remasters, up conversions and so forth. However, I always feel like they never satisfied the itch of a true preservation project. I would like to see something like this for games kept in their original aspect ratio with historical contexts.
Advertising of the time including tv commercials, magazine advertisements and reviews
The original instruction manual from different regions to show the artwork.
Strategy guides of the era which show extra artwork and how to beat the games
The original packaging such as scans of the box and cartridge
Interviews from the people at the time or even now
The game itself and how it was developed along with how they pushed technology, explanation of mappers or additional hardware.
I always loved the Criterion collection for movies as they preserve film and explain so much. But I always wondered why video games never got such treatment? It would be a boon for archivist and people that would love to delve into the history of gaming.
