Gotta nip this in the bud: These games are not unaccounted for. The ICS's collections were owned by the Computerspielemuseum and the USK ratings board. They still own them. This museum project is on the cusp of shutting down, but the games themselves are not going to a dumpster

Help, #DigiPres folks: do you have a "deposit station" for digital content on external devices (HDD, USB, DVD, CD etc.)? If yes: 1. Desktop / Laptop? 2. Unix / Windows? 3. Offline / separate network? If offline, how do you update? 4. One or more antivirus programs? 5. Other recommendations? Thanks!
