Thanks to Chris Chapman and Vince Pavey, we've added nearly 200 more issues of the British game industry magazine MCV to our digital archive! We're now at 400+ issues: archive.gamehistory.org/folder/eb2067a…
Another set of new VGHF scans: EGM², a spinoff of EGM that was meant to be a second edition of the magazine. Then it became the tip magazine Expert Gamer. And THEN it was rebooted as the teen-friendly GameNOW. (Yes, we have all three!) archive.gamehistory.org/folder/0721dbc…
Another recent VGHF scan project completed: Xbox Nation, a magazine that covered the original Xbox console from 2002–2005: archive.gamehistory.org/folder/e49f672… Seen here: an interview with Yukio Futatsugi, director of Phantom Dust, about games that influenced him.
Magazine scan updates: We've scanned the complete run of CD-ROM Entertainment, a short-lived spinoff of Computer Game Review: archive.gamehistory.org/folder/37a39e1… Among the highlights in here: an exclusive interview with the developer of the cult hit Harvester.
Video Game History Hour's Frank Cifaldi is joined by documentarian, historian, hacker, and all around cool guy SynaMax l to talk about their documentary Resurrecting Sinistar: A Cyber-Archaeology Documentary in the latest VGHH podcast: gamehistory.org/episode-140-th…
Spaceship attack! This foreboding early '80s Activision back page ad is for two Intellivision games, The Dreadnaught Factor and Beamrider.
Panzer Dragoon: "It's a really cool game." ―Nobody in particular. (This comes from a long-out-of-print magazine for game store owners that we're currently scanning, MultiMedia Merchandising. Look forward to more soon!)
What's the deal with Imagine Town magazine, one of the least ever-reported on video game mags? We worked out the details for a post on our Patreon (for paid & free subscribers!): patreon.com/posts/whats-de…
We received a new issue of Silicon, a mini-mag given away for free at game stores. It's hard to find nowadays because it was very recyclable. This issue has a rare US cover story on Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons. Or as it's described here, "Final Fantasy with farming equipment."
Digging into our digital archive today, we have a flyer for Bill Budge's Pinball Construction Set, "the first software toy," which paved the way for future toy-games like SimCity: archive.gamehistory.org/item/858a62dd-…
Lord British does what now? (Computer Gaming World's July 1988 issue, thanks so much.)
Why yes, we sent this disturbing Mario to Giant Bomb's Dan Ryckert as part of our monthly 'blind box' vintage magazine service - …game-history-foundation.myshopify.com/collections/fe… - what of it?
In the latest Video Game HIstory Hour podcast, we're joined by pioneer game historian Leonard Herman, author of the first comprehensive book chronicling the history of the industry, Phoenix: The Fall & Rise of Home Videogames, and its subsequent series: gamehistory.org/episode-139-ph…
Hey folks in the Pacific Northwest: We're going to PAX West 2025 this weekend! We've got two panels and an exhibitor table - more info here: patreon.com/posts/were-hea…
How recent is "history"? How about... less than a week ago? Dan Amrich brought us a few issues of Gamescom Daily 2025, the official event magazine for Gamescom, which we're adding to our physical library...
On Patreon today, our members get a deep dive on how we bulk process files from video game press CDs! Unfortunately, it involves using a 20-year-old version of QuickTime: patreon.com/posts/processi…
Which games won Computer Entertainer magazine's '1986 awards of excellence'? Titles like Balance Of Power, The Pawn, Super Mario Bros (who?), and even Alter Ego as 'most innovative program': archive.gamehistory.org/item/f324dbcc-…
VGHF is archiving press CDs for an upcoming collection highlight, and look, we hate to show off - but here's some high-resolution Gex.
This week on the Video Game History Hour podcast, we talked to Derek Alexander (Stop Skeletons From Fighting) and Zarithya about how they restored the long-lost 16-player mode from Faceball 2000 for the Game Boy: gamehistory.org/episode-138-pl…
Who were the biggest U.S. PC game publishers back in June 2000? According to these VGHF-scanned charts from Games Business magazine - archive.gamehistory.org/item/b64e38c0-… - EA's Sims franchise made it #1, followed by Havas with Blizzard's titles, and Hasbro with Rollercoaster Tycoon.
