Sounds great, but then I browse the site, and remain perplexed by the excess of philosophy ("manifesto of the conscious gamer") and by a gallery almost exclusively of faces (no games, no consoles or old computers whatsoever). Reading the press coverage, it seems more focused on arcade cabinets and home concoles, and less about home computers.
Maybe visiting it will be worth the travel, but then why hiding its real contents?

There is now a snapshot of a room, which is as uninspiring as it can be (except for the drawings on the walls, which are, however, just drawings). All I can see is small shrines with small objects. The only item I can recognize is a Milton Bradley's "Simon", which I would not classify as a videogame but as an electronic game.
I also wonder why there's all this mistery about the items in display.

Looks a lot like the museum section of the second-hand games store here in Austin:

I usually drop in here after getting a haircut, as it's in the same part of town. So about once every nine months They hardly ever have interesting VIC stuff, but I did see a couple of 1541s once for $10.

It doesn't, I'm afraid: I can recognize many interesting consoles and cabinets in the pictures of the links you posted... That's indeed something definitely worth seeing.Kweepa wrote:Looks a lot like the museum section of the second-hand games store here in Austin
