Yesterday’s Headlines Today

The IGNN Conservatory is dedicated to assisting researchers and preserving the legacy of imaginative reporting.

The Imaginary Game News Network is proud to present a historical compendium of video game-related headlines that we published then promptly forgot. Readers were wondering where those future headlines went once the future became the present and then the past and the future headlines from Tomorrow’s Headlines Today vanished from IGNN’s Front Page. Did we have a retirement home for them? Did we chuck them on the bon fire of historical recall? Did we sell them to Fox News? No. We kept them so that we could give future researchers a rich, historical record of what we were thinking and when. From our humorous headlines about game companies and industry leaders to announcements of imaginary game products, you’ll find all our video game news headlines without stories right here.
