    This forum is dedicated to furthering the knowledge base for proper video game and video game hardware conservation (Preventing damage to passively), preservation (Actively taking measures to prevent further degradation), and restoration (Repairing physically).

    This forum is to address the following:

    • Preservation of plastics
    • Preservation of papers
    • Preservation of electronics

    This forum hopes to establish:

    • Standards for storage
    • Standards for storage materials
    • Standards for acceptable and unacceptable restoration
    • Standards for storage of electronic games and hardware

    Video games fall into several categories:

    • ROM
    • EPROM
    • Magnetic
    • Optical
    • Digital downloads

    Hardware falls into several categories:

    • Inert
    • Degrading battery
    • Degrading hardware parts other than battery
    • Built in intentional failure

    Accessories fall into several categories:

    • Inert
    • Fading
    • Degrading interaction of materials

    More will come to mind however this is plenty to address, do research on, and draw up standards for storage and preservation.
