Tencent leads Web program to revive lost games

Chinese who grew up in the 1980s and '90s played with catapults or flew kites much like the previous generations. But today's young Chinese are into different games because of the Web.

Chinese Internet giant Tencent, UNESCO and the China National Academy of Arts have together launched a program to help people to recall their childhood memories online.

At a forum last week in Beijing, Tencent Interactive Entertainment announced that the program will gather, categorize and protect traditional games not just for Chinese but also for foreigner Web users.
