This week marks the 15th Anniversary of the opening of the U-M Computer & Video Game Archive! We've grown to nearly 10,000 games for ~80 different gaming systems, covering nearly 50 years of gaming history! @UMichLibrary

[UM CVGA @umcvga]

Network access for U-M campus has been restored, and we are back to (mostly) normal operation. You can still play the old games if you want—thanks to everyone who came by for some old-school game action during the two-day outage 😃😃🕹️🕹️

[UM CVGA @umcvga]

We’ve also got some Super Smash Bros. Melee action happening

[UM CVGA @umcvga]

Join us from 2-4pm today on the 3rd floor of Shapiro for Mario Kart Double Dash on the giant screen! (part of Party for Your Mind @UMichLibrary )

[UM CVGA @umcvga]

Still no networking in Shapiro, but we are open! Older systems (and board games) still work 😀

Do not wrap cords tightly around controllers—it places stress on the cords, esp. at the place where the cord enters the controller and can lead to damage. Instead, lightly coil the cord and place under the controller.
