AI summary:

The Video Game History Foundation (VGHF) has launched a digital library, offering free online access to over 30,000 files and 1,500 video game magazine issues. This collection includes high-quality artwork, promotional material, and never-before-seen game development files, such as raw production footage from the Myst series and Sonic the Hedgehog concept art. The library is accessible to everyone without needing special credentials. The VGHF aims to continue digitizing its physical archives to make them available online. The launch has been well-received, despite some server issues due to high demand.

Nm I’m dumb. It’s under the “Digital Archive” on their site.

https://archive.gamehistory.org/

This site can’t be reached

Check if there is a typo in archive.gamehistory.org.
