KINOAUTOMAT (1967) "the first interactive movie" @molleindustria.org recently streamed KINOAUTOMAT on twitch for @romchip.bsky.social, so I decided to upload my old Master's thesis about it : files.cargocollective.com/c1684846/Kin...

Yall, please throw a few bucks towards Romchip. It’s so rare to see solid scholarly journals about the history and social impact of video games, they do genuinely good work and I want to be able to cite them in future work.
