And yeah, they were way ahead of their time.

I've actually corresponded with Carl Goodman a little bit- not sure what they're up to now, as far as games go, but they recently launched a new publication called Moving Image Source, which looks to 'develop an online index of Moving Image Studies-related online research resources.'  Games here are classified under the "digital media" wing of moving images.  Here's the link:

The museum that hosted it might be able to provide more detail (I might
contact them). It's still running today and actually has an online
section about games:

Goodman" might know more. I should probably ask what they're up to, I'll
note it down.
