The RC Car bit really made me think. We always talk about how the gaming medium is terrible at preserving itself for history, and some games have been lost to history/only available to diehard collectors.
That has to be an infinitely bigger issue with flash games. Think about it. If you're like me, you probably wasted a great deal of your life on cheap games on Neopets, Newgrounds, Nick.com, or any number of cheap websites. How many of those games have simply vanished off the face of the internet, only physically located deep in some developer's old hard drive? They'll all be gone. Or is there some active preservation community for those that I'm not aware of?
