Great time. It's short but there is lots to look at. This museum I think works best for older kids, Moms, and Dads. My younger two boys were bored after a bit. My older son liked the whole thing. I, 34, loved it. Lots to see, lots of interactive exhibits. Arcade at the end with a lot of cabniets I've only seen in pictures and videos. 1-3 hours of your day depending on how many of the old computer systems, home consoles, and arcade cabinets you play.

This isn't an arcade. You can play some games there but its not a place to merely play video games. It's a museum at heart. Cheers

I have a samurai micro genius 3 , box pack video game do I want to sell it?

Aviraj jadhav | Oct 1, 2021
Josh Maxwell | Oct 1, 2021

If you want to donate stuff you'll have to contact them directly. For selling stuff, that's what eBay is for. As for if you want to sell it, that's entirely up to you.

How long would it take to look through the whole thing?

Blessingg Francis | Oct 1, 2020
Michelle Barker | Oct 1, 2020

That's not really what you do here. You could "look through" the whole thing in 15 mins or so, but the point is to stop, enjoy it, play the video games, reminisce. Lose yourself in the nostalgia. I recommend allowing at least 3 hours for playing the games.

Pedro Santana | Oct 1, 2020
Aldo Andrade | Oct 1, 2020

That's what their schedule says. Call them! Also maybe check out the Cidercade (2777 Irving Blvd #200, Dallas, TX 75207, United States)

Do they have Galaga or Ninja Gaiden (I,II or III from the NES)?

AugustoJM 18 | Oct 2, 2019
Caleb Fawson | Oct 2, 2019

They do not. The only NES game that is Playable is Duck Hunt\Mario Bros. However, they have a version of Sonic R on the gamecube (interesting fun fact). As far as galaga, I am uncertain. However, they have a plethora of arcade games ranging from Mappy and Mortal Kombat to Michael Jackson's Moonwalker
