The Journal of Computer Game Design Volume 3
There are a couple of prescient essays in this volume: "Why CD-ROM Games won’t work (Yet)" and "Faces". I’m quite proud of the rather technical analysis presented in "Color Versus Resolution", although the conclusions are no longer of any utility. And the deep theory entry here is "Indirection". The other stuff, except for "Pity the Poor Consumer" is nothing to write home about.
