Er schijnt dus in New York een museum te zijn met video games, wat natuurlijk fookin a is. Maar deze heeft ook een grote collectie met zeldzame retro games, en daarom reisde de website Wired.com af naar de big apple voor dit artikel en de onderstaande video.


Today, WIRED can exclusively reveal that the Strong, an institution in Rochester, New York that encompasses the National Museum of Play and the International Center for the History of Electronic Games among other divisions, has acquired a massive collection of complete sets of games for classic Japanese consoles. And when they say complete, they really mean it: Spanning over 7,000 games, the collection features the entire libraries of games for 18 different platforms, including the Famicom (Nintendo Entertainment System), Sega Mega Drive (Genesis), Nintendo 64 and many more. It's an exhaustive, painstakingly assembled collection that should have any admirer of classic videogames going green with envy.
