Contacting the Preservation SIG Newsdesk

Have you got something to add to our site news? I keep an eye on RSS feeds and news, but I miss an awful lot of videogame history material. How, however, you can contact our elite team of newsdesk people by emailing preservation_news - at - igda.org !

If and when the IGDA site gets updated, we should be all nice and shiny, making this a much nicer place to actually get news too. Yay!

The Sierra Newsletter, Sierra News Magazine & InterAction Magazine Archive

Kevin Gifford at GameSetWatch has pointed to a recently completed collection of in-house Sierra magazines archive. Pretty interesting to have an internal view of a publisher presented for the public.

A Comprehensive List Of Documentaries/TV/Shows/Movies About Video Game and Computer History

Steve Fulton at 8bitrocket has posted a list called "A Comprehensive List Of Documentaries/TV/Shows/Movies About Video Game and Computer History". Pretty much explained by the title. There are some missing (of course, the list jumps from 1986 to 1996 after 2 entries :) ) but it's a good resource for those wanting to find more documentaries.
