this is a really cool and really important piece as chinese games have started to enter western gaming culture in the last few years almost entirely removed from historical industrial context.

Lastest @romchip.bsky.social has a really interesting article on Chinese game history, giving an overview + a feminist perspective: romchip.org/index.php/ro... It's great to get articles in English from outside the usual US-center perspective & its citations are a great source for further reading!

Coming up this eve at 7 pm ET, @pdmcdonald.bsky.social on the @romchip.bsky.social Twitch channel to discuss his excellent new book The Impossible Reversal: A History of How We Play (published by @uminnpress.bsky.social).

Found in the classifieds section of The Advocate across a few issues from 1983 if that helps @romchip.bsky.social @textfiles.com @lainenooney.bsky.social

any leads out there?

ROMchip is hosting free, online talk about my new book The Impossible Reversal. I'm going to talk about how games came to be designed objects in the 1950s, and some early management simulation games played on IBM mainframes! Find out more at: www.tickettailor.com/events/romch...

Cool to see, and a nice write up on the history of the franchise I work on. FIFA 23 was my first shipped AAA title, the thirtieth FIFA, and the last FIFA, all in one.

oh perfect timing, guess what just came in from @romchip.bsky.social! What a comfy and categorically correct hat

we got our next ROMchip Presents Twitch talk lined up. Come hear Peter McDonald talk about his new book The Impossible Reversal and game design's indebtedness to management thinking!
