I tried to leave a comment on the article but it's down due to the hacker news hug of death. I wonder if the author plays new games and what their opinion is on Diablo 4. It's interesting to me that hacker news has become a place for this kind of niche content about old video games. Who would have known there is such a large audience that is willing to pay for magazine length / quality articles about the history of games?

Speaking of, I subscribed to this magazine for a few years (yes, on paper!) and I highly recommend: https://www.retrogamer.net/ https://www.retrogamer.net/ They have a lot online but there is something very enjoyable about getting an actual magazine in the mail. They have a ton of glossy images and in-depth, well-researched articles - a breakdown of how Pitfall! was constructed for the Atari 2600 is a memorable one. Bonus (or negative): it is from the UK and living in the U.S. there is a whole alternate dimension of retro games they feature that I've never heard of. But I enjoyed reading about those, too!
