ROMchip: A Journal of Game Histories develops, edits, and publishes ad-free, open access game history research for a range of audiences.
More specifically, ROMchip is a biannual, online, open access publication (July and December) that publishes game history work in the form of scholarly articles, transcripts of oral histories and interviews, along with short works devoted to game-related artifacts, and translations.
ROMchip is unique among peer-reviewed humanities journals. It features both academic and non-academic contributors, has no paywall or advertising, pays freelancers for their work, and ensures all authors keep their copyright. We also regularly host game history research talks on Twitch and YouTube, so authors can share their knowledge with the public.
Our content appeals to journalists, enthusiasts, citizen historians, archivists, curators, scholars, critics, students, designers and developers--anyone with a passion for game history.
We're small but mighty. ROMchip is where game history is taken seriously.
