So I’m in the Dallas area where this is located so I figured I’d take a day and check it out and it was pretty great. Only $12 to get in, tons of cool stuff, and at the end they give you a bunch of tokens to play in a retro arcade full of extremely well refurbished machines. Played a lot of Sunset Riders and Moonwalker. There were also just tons of terminals set up on CRTs playing NES/SNES games, old Apple II's you could fuck with, just game terminals everywhere. If you're in the Dallas area - it's definitely well worth your time.
Came into this giant wall that has most systems up to the 8th gen or so. You could pick the console on those SNES terminals and they were full of info around the lunch, price and other cool stuff for context like average household income. It's crazy seeing stuff like 3DO launch at $700 or whatever with the average household income around $30k.
They had a ton of dev kits which was really cool.
This one always hurts. I had the Clayfighter Sculpters Cut - in box - that I bought used when I was a kid when my local Blockbuster was closing. Now it's one of the most expensive N64 games. I sold it for ten bucks.
Shrine to the original Mario movie full of props from the set.
There was a giant wall full of every bumper sticker, button and promo material you could think of for decades worth of games. But I'm an A Boy and His Blob fanatic and its hilarious that they had a bumper sticker for this. I'd love to drive around with it on my car today.
This was hilarious to me. I only took one photo. The entire front lobby where you wait in line to pay to get in is full of fucking Battleborn statues. All 4-5 feet tall, just huge. Just this legendary flop and its the entire lobby to the museum. Gearbox studios is located just around the corner, so they donated all of this garbage and I guess they were too nice to throw it out.
