These people are Computing Archeologists - I don't know if that is a formal category but that is how I think of them. They go deeper into software and hardware of the past and bring back such gems before those are lost forever to the tides of e-waste.

"Computing Archeologist" is such a nice word.

For some reason I really enjoy "computer archeology" about Super Mario 3 and 64. There is even a total decompile of 64.
