IGN is partnering with the newly-launched Video Game History Foundation to present the IGN Save Point Live Stream on Monday, February 27 starting at 12pm PT (3pm ET, 8pm GMT, February 28 6am AEST).
During the five-hour stream, we’ll be playing a slew of rare things, including canceled games, unreleased consoles, forgotten preview builds, and much more. In addition to IGN hosts and editors, we'll be joined by co-founders of the Video Game History Foundation, Frank Cifaldi and Steve Lin, as well as pals from around the industry including Jared Petty, Mary Kish, Andrea Rene, Mike Mahardy, Peter Brown, Chris Kohler, Alexa Ray Corriea, and more.
“There’s no better way to express the importance of saving video game history than to actually show the work being done,” said Frank Cifaldi, director of the Video Game History Foundation. “Some of the games we’re playing on the stream only exist because people went the extra mile to save them, and we’re excited to make our public debut by sharing these finds with such a large audience.”
The live stream is also serving as the VGHF’s first fundraising event. Donations made during the stream will go directly toward the nonprofit’s operating costs, helping to ensure that rare historical artifacts are discovered, digitized, and made accessible to researchers before they are lost. Supporters of video game preservation and the foundation may subscribe to the official VGHF newsletter found on the VGHF website.
Tune in to IGN Save Point on Monday, February 27 on any of the following platforms.
