25,000 games archived at Stanford
BobA:
News article on CNET about a huge game collection donated to Stanford U. Video so you have to put up with a commercial.

That's pretty cool. I agree with the interviewee about the packaging itself being an important artifact. Those boxes remind me of a different time in my life, and the design work on the boxes is an art that will now be preserved.

how the hell did they decide these are the top ten most important games ever?
BobA:
I guess the guy picked the top ten out of his hat. I don't see any reference to sources so they must be his choices. I cannot figure out why that soccer game is in the list at all.

Well, I don't think they are the best games ever, but I could dig that they might be the most important landmarks in gaming history, i.e. games that defined genres.
This just makes me think that I am justified in thinking that Ivy League Colleges are mainly for rich people and their offspring. That collector was a former student there, at Stanford.
Yes, I'm jealous.
