Hi all, just a brief update here.
I had an idea while at work at couple of days ago, that it might be nice to provide a page that includes some of the resources I use on the blog. That way, you all could see for yourself what my sources are, and investigate them for yourself if you're inclined to do so.
And so, I have created a new Recommended Resources page, which you can find on the sidebar under the "Important Pages" heading. This resource page includes books and databases I've relied heavily upon in my research, along with links to some free (and legal) game collections.
Also included at the end are some assorted media resources that I've found helpful or interesting. This includes interviews, podcasts, documentaries and assorted video essays on a variety of topics.
This will be an expanding list, so check back often to see if there's anything new!
[Also, what do you think of the new colours and logo? I figured it was time to make the place look slightly more professional. Emphasis on the word "slightly." If you have thoughts, let me know in the comments.]
I dig the resource page, especially the list of books. Reminds me that there's a computer game history book I've never been able to remember the title of, but I read it around 2008 and it definitely had an effect on my approach!
ReplyDeleteI don't really have much to say about the colors or logo. Sorry.
All good about the colors, Ahab. Was just something I cobbled together in an hour because I was getting bored of the plain text. I'm no graphic designer.
DeleteGlad you're liking the page! If you find out what that book's called, let me know about it. I'd love to check it out.
I think it was High Score: The Illustrated History of Electronic Games. Its biggest contribution was convincing me to give up my stubborn then-belief that only DOS games mattered.
DeleteAmazing! Thanks Ahab. I found it on the Archive. There's also a third edition from 2018 that I will try pick up a copy of.
