A leading voice in technology studies shares a collection of essential essays on the preservation of software and history of games.
Since the early 2000s, Henry Lowood has led or had a key role in numerous initiatives devoted to the preservation and documentation of virtual worlds, digital games, and interactive simulations, establishing himself as a major scholar in the field of game studies. His voluminous writings have tackled subject matter spanning the history of game design and development, military simulation, table-top games, machinima, e-sports, wargaming, and historical software archives and collection development. Replayed consolidates Lowood's far-flung and significant publications on these subjects into a single volume.
Replayed is a valuable resource... I read the book and wished such a resource had been available when I first dipped my toes into game preservation and game history.
—American Journal of Play
Replayed: Essential Writings on Software Preservation and Game Histories brings together some of Lowood's most influential scholarship... Lowood's scholarship is expansive, covering preservation, machinima, and eSports, and it centers the human experience as an integral part of game histories.
