Preserving the digital heritage of our favorite games, one file at a time.
The Mission
For the past few years, I have had the incredible privilege of interviewing game and mod developers, speedrunners, and community leaders. During those conversations, a clear and alarming pattern emerged: so much of our PC gaming history is disappearing.
Old community websites go offline, legacy mods are lost to dead hard drives, and the stories of the players and veterans who built these foundational communities fade away.
The PC Gaming Shelter was constructed to stop that loss. This is a dedicated media wiki functioning as a digital vault. Here, we archive information on mods, document the histories of active and dead clans, catalog upcoming events across various genres, and provide a permanent home for the legacy of PC gaming.
