The video game history foundation has just finished scanning every copy of the neopets magazine and added it to their archive. Super cool!

Why we scanned every issue of Neopets The Official Magazine | Video Game History Foundation

It might be a little silly, but Neopets Magazine is an important slice of a different part of gaming culture.

During its four-year run, Neopets Magazine covered the latest news and strategies for the influential 2000s-era web game. It also had a lot of articles about Neopets merchandise and trading cards. In fact, it’s mostly ads for Neopets products. Or long articles about Neopets lore. At best, it is mostly an off-topic magazine. So why did we focus on this magazine of our archive? Simple: it’s about the game’s audience. Neopets was, arguably, the defining girl game of the 2000s. An entire microgeneration of girls got their start in the world of digital entertainment by raising virtual pets and playing Flash games to get Neopoints. [...] Notably, many of the magazine’s articles are about creativity and customization. There’s shades in here of the gameplay styles that have become more popular in the last decade with the rise of cozy games and farming sims. My favorite quirk of Neopets Magazine is in the audience survey that came with some issues. In one survey question, they asked whether readers bought this magazine at a clothing store! That would have reached a completely different audience than we usually associate with game magazines. Can you imagine PC Gamer being sold at a Charlotte Russe? The point is that Neopets The Official Magazine represents a different slice of gaming culture, one that we know matters to researchers and to our extended community.

"The Valiant Turtle", educational computerised floor-roving robot, made by Valiant Designs Ltd, London, c. 1985. Museum Victoria Collections.

Designed by Dave Catlin in 1983, the turtle's movement is controlled from a computer through infra-red signals, using the LOGO programming language advocated by Seymour Papert. It could be used for drawing shapes as it travelled. This robot is related to Turtle Geometry, a then-new field of mathematics enabled by the control of an object (physical or screen) using a computer program. This particular Valiant Turtle was owned and used by Dr. Liddy Nevile in her student research and classroom work in the 1980s.
