National Center For The History Of Electronic Games Now Open

[triverse]

National Center for the History of Electronic Games has opened in New York inside the Strong National Museum of Play.  Maybe someday someone will start something like this for magazines.  Until then we here at Retromags can hope to strive towards a similar goal.  This is great news though.  Anyone near this that could visit and give a first hand report and some pics from it?

The center houses some 15,000 game-related items, including every major console release since the Magnavox Odyssey. Some of these consoles can actually be played, according to the center's website, In addition to the vast permanent collection, the center will house an exhibit called "Videotopia" from May 30th to November 1st of this year, which will show off mostly arcade games. You can also donate games, systems or any piece of game-related memorobilia you want by contacting the director, Jon-Paul C. Dyson, at jpdyson@museumofplay.org. That is, if they don't already have whatever it is you want to donate!
