The Edge 200 blog gets it's name from the UK video game magazine Edge who recently celebrated their 200th issue. To commemorate this milestone issue 200 was shipped with 200 variant covers celebrating important games past, present and future.
From Asteroids to Zelda and everything in between the initiative was a true celebration of videogames. The collection of covers can be found at the link provided below for edge-online as well as a wallpaper containing all of the 200 images.
The aim of this blog is to revisit and discuss the games contained in the Edge 200 with a new post on average once a week. I aim to play or re-play portions or all of the games I cover in the blog so times between posts may vary depending on the games themselves. An awful lot of these games may be unknown to many of today's gamers (myself included) so I will be trying to put up links to other resources such as reviews, fan-sites, etc to help give additional background on the games and to give them a grounding in terms of what the industry and society was like at the time of release.
If anyone is interested in me addressing a particular game as a matter of priority, or would like to be involved in any way please feel free to contact me at any stage.

Disclaimer:
I would like to make it clear that neither myself nor this blog have any affiliation to Edge magazine and I'm simply using the games listed as part of their issue 200 as a starting point to examine videogame history in more detail. That said it's a damn fine magazine and if you're not picking it up already you really should. Subscriptions should be available on their site and usually have good free gifts for new subscribers so please check it out if you're interested.
