Wow! I have been reading the first issue with ever-increasing delight. Wonderful, illuminating, stimulating essays. I have had a number of History major undergrads who want to write about gaming, and now I have a place to send them. I am passing this set of links on to the prof teaching our History majors’ seminar this year, and will present it to my graduate methodology (research design) students next spring as a prime example of how to lay the foundations for a new and budding field. Congratulations, Laine et al, and many thanks for ROMchip!!!
