"You don't understand a game by playing it."
The Videogame Morgue File is a place for materials that give videogames context.
Our aim is to build an archive of information, links and media for all researchers of videogame history, bringing scattered, difficult-to-find resources together into a single reference. And we need your help to build it!

- Researchers
- Academics

What's with the name?
"A morgue file originally was a collection of paper folders containing old files and notes kept by criminal investigators, as well as old article clippings kept by newspaper reporters, in case they became of later use as a quick reference collection."
