Extra Life

Three rooms, one archive

The curated companion content around the archive, gathered into three rooms: a shelf of books worth keeping, a booth of records worth spinning, and — soon — a screening room of documentaries, longplays, and video essays.

  1. The Reading Room

    Books worth keeping

    A curated shelf of writing about games — histories, biographies, development post-mortems and odd specialist volumes.

  2. The Listening Room

    Records worth spinning
