Could you recommend some specific articles of theirs worth reading?

Yes!

Though it's not his domain and is a one-off like Railroad Tycoon, I love the article on Sim City: http://www.filfre.net/2016/06/simcity-part-1-will-wrights-ci...

The history of the TRS-80, whose place in PC history I did not appreciate before reading: http://www.filfre.net/2011/06/the-trash-80-part-1/

There are many more interesting articles he lists on his own best-of list: http://www.filfre.net/hall-of-fame/

If your into Retro gaming, I highly recommend reading it as he has written it http://www.filfre.net/sitemap.

His writing his amazing and I'm always interested in how pieces of gaming history fit together.

Another way to read it, is as I have come across a theme I'm interested in I just follow that tag for a while e.g. http://www.filfre.net/tag/sierra

All in all, this blog is amazing and well worth supporting IMHO.
