I acquired (with help) a killer audio cassette digitizing rig, and then IMMEDIATELY had to spend over 2 months digitizing 90+ cassettes from the 1999 Game Developers Conference (via a slow-and-steady workflow that got the job done without being too disruptive to any other work I was doing). So, here we are, it's done. Go enjoy 70+ hours of presentations about all aspects of game making and producing, in 1999.https://archive.org/details/1999_Game_Developers_Conference_Audio

@textfiles Some days I think you have the coolest job … some days I think you have the worst job … and some days (like today) I think both things at different times. Thanks for all you (and all the other worker bees) do to keep so much history from being lost to the dustbin. The other day I stepped into my personal wayback machine and listened to some of that Kresge (K-Mart) background music.

@textfiles ok cool! Thanks for answering. Would it be ok to share the altered (messed up😊) ones? I really don’t like the cassette tape background noise.

@textfiles Thanks so much for these. It was such a fast-moving, varied period in the industry, a few months after the release of both the Dreamcast and the Game Boy Color.Incidentally, I think the talk labelled as Scott Adams should actually be Ernest Adams.

@textfiles So cool! Circa 2001, when I was a high schooler, I bought a lot of used game development books off of eBay from a person I'm pretty sure was a professional reviewer. Lots of pre-print editions, but also, the GDC proceedings books from the late '90s. I'm so sad I don't have them anymore, but they didn't make it through the many moves one makes as a young person. Can't wait to browse this!
