Visit Texas: National Videogame Museum

The National Videogame Museum in Frisco, Texas combines gaming and history in a fun and entertaining venue for visitors of all ages.

As soon as you enter, you're surrounded by gaming consoles of all types and eras - and you can play on them!

From a life-size game of Pong, to desktop gaming and virtual reality, there are all sorts of video games you can play.   It was neat to see so many kids play games from the 80s, like Duck Hunt! 

There are numerous set-ups throughout the museum so no single area is overcrowded with gamers or people waiting their turn.  

The exhibits also displayed so much vintage memorabilia, showcasing the evolution of video games.  

It was quite interesting to see how the industry moved from clunky hardware to more streamlined ones with such faster processors and amazing graphics.

Imagine if we all kept our old consoles and how much they would be worth today!

The only game I played - a typing game

With your admission, you get tokens to play in the arcade, which was full of retro games, many of which I haven't seen since I was a kid!

I didn't expect the National Video Game Museum to be as crowded as it was, but it was definitely a fun place to visit - and a nice trip down memory lane!
