Interviews with old school RPG developers. Over 300 up so far. Including Chris Avelone, Richard Garriot, and Brian Fargo. He also wrote a few books about old school RPG history. These are high quality interviews.

Goal of this blog is to review and play every RPG every made. Its been around for 5 years. He started in 1980 and is now up to RPGs released in 1991. Very good detailed reviews. Multiple posts per game with screenshots. He has his own reviewing system at the end where he rates each game in a set of categories and rates them based on whether he thinks the game will be fun today. After that he discusses reviews of the game at the time they were released and discusses there historical content. The comments themselves are worth reading.

Found a really fun game called Dark Heart of Uukrul that is abandonware. Play style is similiar to Pool of Radiance with  more interesting puzzles. Combat isn't quite as good. Great Blog site.
