The Game Archive Project (GAP) was introduced in the Ritsumeikan University's Research Report RADIANT
The Ritsumeikan University Game Archive Project (GAP) was launched by Prof. Koichi Hosoi, Deputy Director of the Art Research Center (ARC), when he was searching for a way to research games.
The GAP--an industry-academia collaboration between Kyoto Prefecture, Nintendo, and Ritsumeikan University--aims to organize and digital-archive games and game-related materials to preserve game culture and establish a system for public use
A story on this project has been featured in English in Issue #18 of Ritsumeikan University's Research Report RADIANT.
