'' video game at the National Videogame Museum The National Videogame Museum offers multiple exhibits that each focus on a different "stage" or aspect of video game history. This includes exhibits that focus on sound design in games, the
video game crash of 1983, the rise of the
home computer as well as the evolution of
video game controllers, consoles, and more. The museum features elaborate showcases of particularly rare and popular gaming artifacts, such as
Stadium Events and the
Nintendo World Championships NES Cartridge, as well as rare special edition consoles, many of which had only a handful of units ever produced. The Museum also acts as a safe haven for all kinds of video game prototypes, including the only known prototype of the unreleased
Sega Neptune ever created. The National Videogame Museum is notable for having one of the largest historical gaming archives in the world. Various game consoles are running around the Museum that attendees can sit down with and play at their leisure, or go head-to-head with one another, with a selection of games that typically rotates monthly. The National Videogame Museum also hosts a fully featured, 80's style classic gaming arcade that features games such as
Pac-Man,
Punch-Out!!,
Donkey Kong, and many other classic arcade mainstays. There is also a giant-sized version of the game
Pong that has earned the museum widespread acclaim. == References ==
