Not a real history museum without some stolen goods 😉

This guy's enthusiasm totally makes the video.

+1 for supporting SpecialEffect charity. Cracking guys, brilliant cause.

Man, that dev-kit display is way too humble. Those machines are pretty much the closest things we get to relics in the the gaming world, and they should be displayed in a museum!

(oh wait they are, actually...)

This guy seems like he's so enthusiastic about working at an amazing place! I'd love to work there but I'll probably settle for visiting for a day.

Nintendo: Emulated huh, where's my take down papers?

[alicebingham]

so sad we lost the national arcade museum in Nottingham

What's the disinfectant wipe budget at this museum?

[abdalhadifitouri]

This is actually a really cool way to make this museum

Considering Free Radical no longer exists, I wonder what could've happened if that PS2 Dev Kit actually was stolen.

Fruit controllers = planned obsolescence.

I can imagine it drives him nutty that you can play just about every version of minecraft along it's entire development.

This guy looks a little bit like "Big Head" from Silicon Valley

Such a great vid. Great to see how people are so devoted to the preservation of VGs

Nice, but James Rolfe probably has more video game stuff under his bed than these people have in their entire museum.

[HiImKyle]

Nice to see my home town in a video like this.

[todbilegotgonbat]

Are there Xbox Live messages mentioning my mum engraved onto plaques?

[azzaKaiapoi]

Shout out for Astro Wars. I spent days playing this in the early 80's.

Between my brother and I, I'm pretty sure we have everything they collected (...and more, though I don't have dev consoles. I can provide pictures.. no kidding). Nice to see jamma based machines being shown. Is there anyplace in there showing the innards and explaining the evolution from Pong to the custom arcade cabinets to jamma? On the home console side, the evolution from custom game units to cartridge based software and then to discs? I saw a lot of showing stuff but not a lot of explaining if they covered actual history.

Went here for last month it was great love the work they do
