- The "GOG" and "Abandonware" Collections: Megaloman is renowned for preserving video game history, specifically archiving installers for games that are no longer sold or supported by publishers. This includes titles that run on obsolete operating systems, preserving the code before the physical media degrades.
- Scientific and Academic Journals: In a move echoing the ethos of the late Aaron Swartz, Megaloman has been linked to massive mirrors of academic papers and textbooks. The goal is to democratize knowledge that is often locked behind prohibitively expensive paywalls for universities and researchers.
- Driver and Software Archives: One of the most practical Megaloman projects is the preservation of drivers. As hardware manufacturers go bankrupt or merge, the drivers required to run old printers, scanners, and graphics cards disappear. Megaloman archives ensure that a 20-year-old piece of hardware can still be used today.
- Multimedia and Cultural Artifacts: Rare documentaries, radio broadcasts, and digitized VHS tapes that have never seen a DVD or streaming release often find their way into these curated packs.
