The Classic iPod Clickwheel Games Have Been Preserved

Here is a 178-word summary of the news article: The classic iPod clickwheel games have been preserved by the iPod Clickwheel Games Preservation Project. Over the two-decade lifespan of Apple's iPod music players, 54 games were released for the clickwheel interface. Without preservation efforts, these titles risked being lost to time. The project's founder, Olsro, recently completed the collection by obtaining a copy of the last remaining game, Real Soccer 2009. Preserving the games involved tracking down people who still had the original titles downloaded on their iPods and syncing them to a virtual machine library. This ensures the complete lineup of iPod clickwheel games will remain available for future access. The preserved games are compatible with various iPod Classic and Nano models. Detailed instructions for accessing the virtual machine have been shared on GitHub. The preserved collection includes many classic titles like Bomberman, Ms. Pac-Man, and Sonic the Hedgehog, preserving an important part of early 2000s gaming history.
