The Video Game History Foundation does some great work, and it's really cool to see this project getting off the ground! Their project to vastly improve OCR for magazines seems pretty awesome--curious to learn about the technical details of that project.

Only poked around a little, but here's a random tidbit: while perusing the E3 2001 Directory I learned that CliffyB (of Unreal and Gears of War fame) used to maintain a website called cat-scans.com which was home to literal cat scans (scans of cats on flatbed scanners). Also Tommy Tallarico was at that year's E3 as part of the "How to Break into Gaming" panel...lmao.

Also, if you're into video game history I definitely recommend their podcast (RSS link)! I thought their most recent episode with a couple who worked at GamePro was a lot of fun.

edit: also perhaps of interest to Hexbears: this collection of zines from Game Workers Unite, which helped spark the movement to unionize workers in the game industry back in 2018
