From the editorial: "The time is right for a change; game studies must contend critically and directly with maintenance and repair. The field does a disservice to scholars and members of the video game community alike as long as it continues to succumb to these practices’ perceived mundanity and opacity."

Admittedly not the sexiest cover... 😅

Published exclusively in Japan in 1986, this rare, unassuming book is actually a deep dive into the and it's anticipated impact on new media as a whole.

The Amusement Industry – Vol. 22 No. 1 January 1993 has been scanned in 600DPI. Enjoy! Japanese coin-op magazines are tough to get a hold of so it's nice to begin scanning some of these in so we can get a better glimpse of the business side of things.

Hi all, I need a bit of help here:

What would be the best platform, in addition to archive.org, to archive a lot of data about video games? A lot of images (including comparison images), text, possibly other types of media?

We're looking into archiving stuff about the Frogwares games (with their input/blessing).

Thank you so much, boosts super appreciated because I don't even know where to begin with tagging this! ♥

DOOM v1.1 Supported Multiple Monitors!
(video by Tech Tangents)

Doom originally supported multimonitor gameplay through the most overkill method possible by using a separate computer for each monitor. Even if you have the hardware, it's a lot of work to set up, but I've always wanted to give it a shot. So today I finally did!
