Well, tell that to the guys who are trying to find a solution. Thing is: All those data need:
1. Some sort of computer
2. An operating system for that computer to work (a cell phone is, in fact, a sort of computer)

Both these things have changed dramaticly. Today we need emus for our PCs to "read" C64 data, tomorrow we'll need emus for those computers to "read" today's PC's data, IF... those machines are still based on 0s and1s (it is possible to imagine 0, 1 and 2 for no current, current and "half current"). It may not be a small task to change all those 0s and 1s into 0s, 1s and 2s. Just for starters, I mean.

haHa So FuNNy!! i can see everyone now thinking of a plan on how to buld a fire safe gaming vault or a BomB shelter LOL! well i did looZ everything that i had and alot was very hard to replace weather it be rare or 'im too poor no money'. It does affect your life if you really appreciated what you had. Materialism had been on my mind meny times and i didnt just buy anythng that looked shinny but it had to be special, meet my standards and pass my seal of quality. I dont let Materialism and stuff rule my life, i can go threw it again. maybe

Yep, as the great and mysterious "They" say - "Neccessity is the mother of invention!"

(By the way, who mentioned Blu Ray? For some reason I've got a feeling that's going to go the way of Laser Discs back in the very early ninties... Don't know why, it's just a feeling....)

I have most of my own games in a place where I could quickly grab all of them...

Except my Ultima VII: Serpent Isle...
I should put it there too...
But it looks so good at my table... And there will be no fire anyway...
Put if there is a fire then you'd have to lose some of them, correct?
No! My body knows no limits when my games are in danger!

Fortunately, most of the other games are in a closet upstairs, and could be quickly thrown to the ground since it's grass.

My computer is in the basement by a window that can open so you can get through. The ground is right there, I would pass my pc, xbox and all the games I have out the window...

I'd be more concerned about saving my music collection.

Due to the possibility of my PC and games melting in a fire I will buy a fireproof safe and put all my games and my computer there. (hmmm.... maybe the computer should be in a concrete bunker 15 feet underground)
