Maybe it was just me but they didn't have much of a collection. Some obscure and hard to find but any time I was looking for something obscure and not easy to find they never had it.

Some system collections were pretty big so hopefully others can archive those.

I really wish we could get libraries to handle video game preservation.

I never heard of them now but video game preservation is as important as film or music preservation.

I saw that there's a community effort to save the entire archive and they were nearly done (or at least are on track to be done before the shutdown occurs). That being said, I haven't been following this super closely so I might be getting the details wrong.
