The Video Game History Foundation opened up digital access to a large portion of its massive archives today, offering access to information from the past 50 years.

"Today's launch of the VGHF Library comprises more than 30,000 indexed and curated files, including high-quality artwork, promotional material, and searchable full-text archives - over 1,500 video game magazine issues. This initial dump of digital materials also contains never-before-seen game development and production archival material stored by the VGHF, such as over 100 hours of raw production files from the creation of the Myst series or Sonic the Hedgehog concept art and design files contributed by artist Tom Payne."

Already using archive.gamehistory.org/ to dig up stuff on locative games. So far, I've found a half-page marketing thing on The Shroud, a page on how Pokemon Go was changing laws, and an acknowledgement that Botfighters existed. Still plenty of stuff to search for.

Finally watching the VGHF video on Sonic 2 Lost Stages, paused to look at the Eggman art (possible cartoon Robotnik designs?) and realized "Hey wait a minute, I'd know that blur anywhere!" (Also helps that there's a SWATBot to the right.) #sonic #sonicthehedgehog #satam #bunnie #bunnierabbot #vghf
