Here are some of the coolest sights I spotted while visiting.
That was not planned life is just cool like that sometimes.
The museum was originally intended to be in Silicon Valley, and was funded in part bya Kickstarter campaign.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Here are the most interesting things my friend and I spotted while we were visiting.
The centerpiece of the room is the Intellivision playing a port ofDonkey Kong.
The consoles are laid out on the wall in chronological order.
If nothing else, its a reminder how long the gaming industry has been around.
We saw Ultra Pong, Puppy Pong, Doctor Pong.
Virtual reality and bizarre peripherals
Another favorite was the display of various virtual reality machines.
The museum also houses a few prototype consoles that never saw the light of day.
I stopped to play a few minutes on the Commodore 64.
The game wasKarateka, the first game published byPrince of Persiacreator Jordan Mechner.
I wasted all of my complimentary tokens onMs.
Pac-ManandFroggerand have no regrets.
