Mailday! Thanks to our patrons we acquired the full run of Hacker magazines we'll get scanned and send to @GameHistoryOrg for their library afterwards. Also got some random Famicom/Super Famicom games to scan.
'Will you take up this sword?' This VGHF Library magazine includes a back-page ad for Capcom's classic 1995 SNES JRPG Breath Of Fire II.
"Building a video game collection is a specialized skill that most libraries do not have the human labor to do, or the expertise, or the resources, or even the interest." -- @itstheshadsy representing @GameHistoryOrg arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/04…
If you sign up to our monthly Mystery Box classic video game magazine service, sometimes you might get Nintendo Power, and sometimes you might get... a much older magazine: …game-history-foundation.myshopify.com/collections/fe…
.@GameHistoryOrg worked with Cyan to recover the original footage from Riven, which they were able to use for the remake! The original voice performances of Gehn, Cho, and Keta will be coming back!

The good thing about this Nintendo Power subscription renewal reminder from the VGHF Library? The Mario keychain. The bad thing? The creepy clown, obviously...
As featured in the VGHF Library, this classic copy of EGM features Sega's Crazy Taxi (which has a new version coming out soon!), alongside a papercraft version of said taxi. *cue The Offspring soundtrack*
A 1991 issue of a U.S. arcade trade magazine - scanned via the VGHF Library - advertises Namco's less remembered mech shooting game Steel Gunner. (Great looking cabinet, though!)
This year, VGHF ran the Game History Gallery at the 2024 Game Developers Conference. Step inside our booth in this special video and see what we showed game developers this year: youtube.com/watch?v=dGl14y…
This exemption would make it easier for libraries to share out-of-print games with researchers, without hurting the game industry. In fact, two major retro game companies (@AntstreamArcade and @LimitedRunGames) SUPPORT the exemption! Read their comments: copyright.gov/1201/2024/comm…
We're taking the fight for game preservation to DC! Next Thursday (4/18, 11am EDT), our library director Phil is testifying to the Copyright Office to support a new exemption for game preservation in libraries. Watch on the Copyright Office's website: copyright.gov/1201/2024/
NEW VIDEO | The Story of The Oregon Trail In 1971, three student teachers created a computer game about traveling the Oregon Trail. It became one of the best-selling edutainment games of all time. But the creators never made a penny. Runtime: 1hr 27 min youtu.be/8QbjlHeoLdc
We held our closing party last month during GDC, and among the festivities was a retrospective display of Feminist Frequency's 15-year history put together by @GameHistoryOrg. Thanks to everyone who celebrated with us at this capstone event!
This bouncy Japanese ad featuring its creator's distinctive bee logo (bottom left) is for Hudson Soft's classic multiplayer title Bomberman '94 on the PC Engine. [Ad scan via the VGHF Library.]
