I have a great supplement to this.
Back in 2000 I had a subscription to the UK PC Gamer magazine and they did a huge "Complete History Of Games" poster, with connections between everything that influenced everything else.
Imgur won't let me upload my scan of it in full resolution, but here's a lower res and still readable version of my scan: https://i.imgur.com/eZPLvMR.jpg https://i.imgur.com/eZPLvMR.jpg
- ssl232 4y agoFellow PC Gamer UK reader from the early 2000s. Funnily enough the first magazine issue I bought contained the Duke Nukem Forever announcement, which became a running gag for delayed releases for over 10 years.
- magic_hamster 4y agoOh my. Is it possible to upload the full resolution anywhere?
- Nition 4y agoI couldn't find a site that'd let me upload it in full res, but I've put it on Imgur cut into four pieces. You can just stitch them back together to get the whole thing at full res. Unfortunately Imgur's also re-encoding the image at a lower JPEG quality. Anyone know a good free large + high res image host that doesn't need an account? Original is 9880x6966, 35MB. Sorry about the minor glitches in the scan - the original scan is many smaller scans stitched together as well as I only have an A4 size scanner, and the poster must be about A1.

- pseudo0 4y agohttps://catbox.moe https://catbox.moe is pretty good, up to 200 mb uploads. It should be able to handle the original no problem.
- Nition 4y agoExcellent, here it is: https://files.catbox.moe/sycbnk.jpg https://files.catbox.moe/sycbnk.jpg Bonus, here's the other side of the poster, which shows the covers of every single issue of PC Gamer (UK) up to that point: https://files.catbox.moe/ztimof.jpg https://files.catbox.moe/ztimof.jpg
- Nadboy1 4y agoThis is such a wonderfully detailed poster. Please do try to upload on archive.org for conservation sometime.
- Nition 4y agoI'm not sure if I really have the rights. But since you're the second person to say it, I've uploaded it with all the info I have: https://archive.org/details/pc-gamer-uk-2000-the-complete-history-of-games-front https://archive.org/details/pc-gamer-uk-2000-the-complete-hi...
