National Videogame Museum Frisco, TX

September 07, 2016 in Dallas, retro

In an unsuspecting town, in a unsuspecting building sits a hidden gem of a museum. The National Videogame Museum in Frisco, TX. Wait what?! That's right a museum dedicated to history of video games, from pong to PlayStation the NVGM displays and let's you interact with history's most famous consoles  as well as the not so famous. Def worth the visit to relive your childhood.

The museum hosts a vast array of retro machines. Donky Kong pictured here. I stepped up to try my luck at Oregon Trail. After successfully trading and hunting to replenish supplies, I was quickly reminded that the game is one big troll. A thief came into the night and stole 4 out of 6 oxen plus half of my supplies. Well, at least it wasn't dysentery.
