CBC Radio has an important piece on how we're losing classic video games. While I love emulators, it's important to remember that they're not the originals (and that they can't cover all the lost originals) https://www.cbc.ca/radio/day6/video-game-history-foundation-availability-study-1.6906010 #GameHistory

Officially have booked my tickets to see Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game on Wednesday at the AMC Theater by Navy Pier. Let me know if you happen to be there!

This is an exciting moment, to get to see arcade history (and later Tetris) hit the big screen. I plan to review both films as well!

My home office #bookshelf varies widely with the teaching prep of the season and also current fun writing projects.... #GameHistory #LondonHistory

The #1980s #microcomputer world of the USA was very different from that of the UK, especially in the first half of the decade. Even though I don't believe I've ever heard of #Apollo games before, it seems they brought out the world's first ever video game to feature a female lead character: a game called Wabbit.

Possibly even more unusual (definitely unusual for the time) it was written by a female computer programmer. This is an interesting article that managed to track her down and interview her, 40-odd years later. https://gamehistory.org/wabbit/
