Delve into the past.
The Video Game History Foundation online library is now open in early access, offering viewers the chance to learn more about video games and how they’re created.
“Ever since we started in 2017, the Video Game History Foundation has been building a digital library to help the study of video game history,” the foundation said in an update. “We’ve been collecting development documents, behind-the-scenes content, rare video game publications and catalogs, magazines, memorabilia, ephemera, and more.”
The library, available right here, contains myriad game development materials alongside press kits and promotional materials. Moreover, it contains more than 1,500 full-text searchable out-of-print video game magazines including Electronic Gaming Monthly, Game Informer, GamePro, and many more.
“The highlight of our launch collection is the Mark Flitman papers,” the foundation continued. “Mark is a retired game producer who worked at companies like Konami, Acclaim, Midway, and Mindscape in the 90s and 2000s.
“He and his family graciously invited the Video Game History Foundation to his home and allowed us to digitize and share the mountains of paperwork and digital file backups he’s kept in his basement for over two decades.”
The library is incredible and we encourage you go to and take a look.
