Allan Christophersen works at the Royal Danish Library. His quest: to find, catalogue and preserve EVERY Danish computer game ever made. And I mean EVERY -- he even has MY games in there! He took me on a guided tour of the inner vaults of the Library and their collection of rare and sometimes forgotten games.
