ROMchip

Aims & Scope

ROMchip: A Journal of Game Histories is a hybrid audience, open-access journal for the advancement of critical historical studies of games, broadly imagined across a variety of fields, disciplines, and professions. It supports any discipline of work enlivening the history of games in local and global contexts, and embraces diversity in how game history is studied, documented, collected, preserved, and practiced. ROMchip is where the history of games is taken seriously. Publishing works in the form of scholarly articles, transcripts of oral histories and interviews, as well as translations and object lessons essays devoted to game-related artifacts, ROMchip is committed to both theoretically and empirically informed historiography as well as rigorous research methods. Our content actively appeals to scholars, critics, journalists, enthusiasts, archivists, and students across a wide range of fields such as, but not limited to, cultural history, design studies and history, game studies, history of computing, history of science and technology, material culture studies, media studies, museum studies, and science and technology studies.
