if you didn't know there was a Video Game History Foundation, there is, and they do amazing work. one of my favorite offerings (even if i no longer subscribe to it) is a subscription where they send you an old video game magazine each month. it was magic.
well, they've taken it to the next level.
archive.gamehistory.org
it's not exhaustive (yet), but there are already hundreds of magazines and other things to thumb through. i particularly like going through the magazines and realizing just how far games journalism has come. here are some fun things from just one 2003 issue of EGM

i really wish this would have worked

do i need to know about the gameplay? of fucking course not. i need to know how hung rayman is.

this gaming device is so good you're going to want to impregnate it. with headphones. or something

i think i still have that death of mario flash still saved on my computer. also shouts out to fenslerfilm and those classic gi joe videos. last one there's a penis pump!
