Sometimes, a video game enjoyer just wants to be showered in nostalgia.
Sometimes maybe they just want to be more immersed before starting a playthrough of a classic game.
Maybe they obsessively keep a (digital) journal and want to give it a bit more color by including trailers, posters, commercials, you name it.
So I wanted to ask what your go-to sites to get all that good stuff are. Are there any, even?
GOG does preservation. That and Archive.org are the ones I use.
https://archive.org/ has old media of all sorts including game magazines, demos trailers and manuals.
a lot of video material has been uploaded to youtube, that was formerly hosted elsewhere. hell i’ve watched the old eoLithic frag movie from like 2002 a week ago.
vimm’s lair is also worth a visit if your are looking for old game manuals.
Yeah I’ve sometimes used all those sites at some point, but they’re so vast (or have only manuals, like vimm’s lair). I was interested in finding something a bit more curated and game-oriented.
Out of Print archive is my go to for nostalgia.
make sure to look in the WIP section for even more magazines
Thanks! Didn’t know about this one.
