Vintage, Retro. It is a quite complex situation.

There is a large base of videogame fans and developers working on emulating old games to ever new platforms. While this guarantees the transfer of knowledge and accessibility for games, there is nothing comparable for electronic literature. The community is too small, does not include many tech-experts, and even browser-based projects of five years are no longer working. A steady in- crease in interactive, collaborative and dynamic elements in new projects of electronic literature is at the core of the problems of archiving. This article discusses the impacts of digital writing on creative works and assesses the situation for German electronic literature and e-poetry in terms of its problems, possibilities and perspectives of archivability. It sorts the projects in easily represent- able works, works that need adapting or emulating and projects that are very difficult to archive in their original form. In doing so it outlines the necessary steps to make electronic literature from past and present accessible for future users. __________________________________

How people connect each other. Which places were important and why? Which media was important and why? Most of this places (Clubs, Supermarkets,  Arcades/Spielsalon, Computershops).
What happened with people from the country side? 

communities (as systems) have their own language, their own values (and thus also their own capitals), their own operations, their own exensions, their own decision extensions.

Basic for creating games.
