All 54 lost clickwheel iPod games have now been preserved for posterity

The article discusses the preservation of all 54 clickwheel iPod games, a significant achievement for video game enthusiasts and historians. These games, originally released for the iPod between 2004 and 2008, were at risk of being lost forever due to the discontinuation of the device and the challenge of finding working copies. The preservation effort was led by a group of dedicated collectors and emulator developers, who faced numerous obstacles in tracking down the last few remaining games. The journey was described as "especially cursed," with some of the rarest titles proving extremely difficult to obtain. Despite the challenges, the team's persistence paid off, and they were able to successfully preserve all 54 clickwheel iPod games, ensuring that this unique and often overlooked aspect of video game history is not lost to time. The article highlights the importance of preserving gaming history and the dedication of the individuals involved in this project.
