Sometimes, a video game enjoyer just wants to be showered in nostalgia.

Sometimes maybe they just want to be more immersed before starting a playthrough of a classic game.

Maybe they obsessively keep a (digital) journal and want to give it a bit more color by including trailers, posters, commercials, you name it.

So I wanted to ask what your go-to sites to get all that good stuff are. Are there any, even?

    https://archive.org/ has old media of all sorts including game magazines, demos trailers and manuals.

    a lot of video material has been uploaded to youtube, that was formerly hosted elsewhere. hell i’ve watched the old eoLithic frag movie from like 2002 a week ago.

    vimm’s lair is also worth a visit if your are looking for old game manuals.

      Yeah I’ve sometimes used all those sites at some point, but they’re so vast (or have only manuals, like vimm’s lair). I was interested in finding something a bit more curated and game-oriented.
