If you do a WHOIS lookup on the domain (usually at lookup.icann.org), then it should tell you the current registrant. There should be an email address or a way of contacting the current registrant. You may need to also go to the registrar where it's currently registered to contact them. But it's an ICANN requirement/rule that there MUST be a way to contact the current registrant through email or a form. Source: 12 months ago

A underappreciated commodity that people seem to overlook is the importance of archiving game materials and communities. For example, capturing the surrounding news/media coverage of a game release, or the general community of a game, is also very important. There are three websites that help immensely with this, abandonia.com, archive.org and archivesort.org. Source: about 3 years ago
