Amazing new resource: Video Game History Foundation Digital Archive

[Strategist's icon Strategist Strategist]

A new resource for game historians and researchers was launched today, in early access form. Here's a video explaining all the details.

Here's the site. It has all the major game mags plus other extra internal documents. I assume it will continue to expand in the future. Probably worth checking out for all of those writing articles about retro games.

No Nintendo Power? I'm guessing because...Nintendo.

I've seen Nintendo Power on other sites, so I doubt it is that. This is an early access version so I'm sure they will add more content as time goes on.

This is a lot better than trying to browse through plain old archive.org! It's clean, the quality is great & is probably the best new way to get those 2000s advertisements!

Thank God I've saved my NP and GameFan magazines from the 90's.

not a fan with preservation that use "overly legal/by the book" method like this because it will be very limited and they tend to blueball and gatekeep things but more option is always good nonetheless.

I'm glad that something like this is available, and I'm excited to see it grow as time passes. I hope they add more Japanese materials in the future.
