ROMchip: A Journal of Game Histories will be hosting our first Twitch Fundraiser Stream LIVE this Saturday, May 11, 11AM - 11PM EST. 

We will be hosting 12 hours of developers, archivists, and scholars sharing games that are personally historically meaningful to them, on our Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/romchipjournal
