New video: The art of GamePro 🖼️💿

Added 2025-11-09 18:00:11 +0000 UTC

Hi folks! We have a new video up going in-depth on our collection of press CDs from GamePro magazine.

We put this video together because we've added the next 100 CDs to this collection, bringing the grand total to 200!* We figured this would be a good time to dig more into this collection and what it takes to get it into our digital archive.

You can explore the GamePro CD collection here. (If you're a patron watching this video a day early, you're the first to see the next 100 discs!)

As we said in the video, our goal is to periodically revisit this collection in-between some of our bigger projects, maybe putting up 50 CDs every couple months. There's cool stuff on these CDs, but preserving them is a time-intensive and repetitive process, so we're going to get to them when we can. In the meantime though, we've passed 23,000 files in this collection! Holy smokes!

*You might notice the last CD in this collection is #199. CDs 200 and 201 are missing from the binders we were given, so we couldn't end this batch on a nice even number. But it's still 200 CDs in total due to some re-used CD numbers.
