Frank Cifaldi (born May 22, 1982) is a video game preservationist, historian, and developer. Cifaldi initially developed a website titled Lost Levels dedicated to unreleased video games. This led to writing for print and web sources such as Nintendo Official Magazine UK and Gamasutra.
In the early 2010s, Cifaldi pivoted his career from journalism to game development, working at Other Ocean and producing work on compilation titles such as the Mega Man Legacy Collection (2015) and The Disney Afternoon Collection (2017) for Digital Eclipse. He founded the Video Game History Foundation in 2016 and left Digital Eclipse around 2020 to focus on the foundation full time.
