Welcome to the WikiProject Video games Reference library of magazines, books, and other publications. It is designed to help editors find sources for previews, development history, critical reviews, or other information in published material. This project especially aims to help editors with articles concerning old games, released before the full advent of the internet for game coverage.

[edit] Instructions for users

If you find a relevant match, then check on the right to see which project members have a copy. Contact that user on his or her talk page and hopefully they will be able to send you the appropriate information.

To easily search all the different subpages of this project, follow these instructions (this works with Firefox):

  1. Bookmark this page
  2. Right-click the bookmark and select "Properties"
  3. Change the name to "WP:VG mag search".
  4. Change the keyword to "vgm".
  5. Now you can type something like "vgm Max Payne" in the Firefox address bar to search all the different magazines that have articles so you don't have to browse all the different magazine pages.

[edit] Instructions for contributors

Anyone may contribute to the project. If you know of an online source for transcriptions or scans of print sources, please add them under "Online resources". If you own or have access to print material, please add them to the appropriate subpage under "Print resources". All books currently share a page, while subpages for strategy guides are listed alphabetically by publisher and magazines are listed alphabetically by publication name. Add your personal archives to the appropriate subpages linked below and follow the general table format. Remember to add your username into the contact field for copies you own, be thorough when checking your archives, and be sure to wikify game titles.
