Software Archive

I wonder if anyone ever considers the loss of computer games. I think there are a few archive sites around but I have no idea how many games (or other software) are saved by them - and will the few archive sites themselves be saved? I mean for hundreds+ years.
Even though it seems that games have been around for ages we are really still at the beginning I imagine. Doom, Half Life - well you could come up with a long list.
I would hope that games like AGEOD make as well as the mainstream could still be remembered, played or studied in years to come.
One could even make a case that some are works of art.
Just a thought after sitting in the garden nursing a beer or two
Cheers, Chris
