Computer games
Royal Danish Library's collection of computer games contains more than 4,000 computer games connected to Denmark. We regularly collect the games as part of the Legal Deposit Act.

Computer games and other interactive works published on physical media (for example DVD-ROM or cartridge) have been required to be handed in since 1998. Two copies must be handed in to Royal Danish Library.
Computer games that have been published digitally, for example on the Internet, have been required to be handed in since 2004. We collect these games through online harvests to the online archive.
Legal deposit of computer games on physical media
All producers of computer games on physical media are obliged to submit two copies of the publication to Royal Danish Library.
