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!!!

Subject: [SIGCIS-Members] Announcing Launch Issue of ROMchip: A Journal of Game Histories
Hi all,
I'm very delighted to announce the launch issue of ROMchip: A Journal of Game Histories, cofounded by myself, Henry Lowood, and Raiford Guins. ROMchip is an online, hybrid-audience scholarly journal, a platform designed for
the advancement of critical historical studies of games (digital, electronic, and analog).
You can check out our first issue here
You can read our newsletter here
You can learn more about ROMchip here
ROMchip is also accepting content! We publish traditional peer reviewed articles, interviews and oral histories, and "object lesson"-style short essays on historic game artifacts. You can learn more about our content types at our FAQ.
We are open to submissions from scholars across all disciplines, as well as independent researchers, journalists, designers, enthusiasts--anyone invested in taking games seriously.
Cheers,
