"You don't understand a game by playing it."

The Videogame Morgue File is a collection of materials intended to give videogames context.

Our aim is to build an archive of information, links and media that can be of value to researchers of videogame history, bringing scattered, hard-to-find resources into one place.

Who is this for?[edit]

  • Researchers
  • Academics
  • Journalists
  • YouTubers
  • Anyone else interested in the history of videogames

What's with the name?[edit]

"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."

What belongs here?[edit]

  • Design documents
  • Advertisements
  • Trade press
  • Newspaper clippings
  • Reviews
  • Interviews
  • Talks
  • Histories

In general: if it's relevant to a videogame, and it's not made of code, this is the place for it.

Help us figure out the future[edit]
