Videogame History Museum

The Videogame History Museum is a computer museum in Frisco housing classic arcade machines alongside interactive gaming displays. The space lets visitors try out consoles from different eras while learning how gaming technology changed over time through the arrangement of working exhibits and informational displays.

The museum grew from a gaming convention that started in Las Vegas in 1999 before finding its permanent home in Frisco in 2016. The founders spent years gathering arcade machines and gaming artifacts to establish this collection in its current location.

The museum displays a recreated 1980s bedroom that shows how gaming fit into people's daily lives through period furniture and electronics arranged as they would have been. Walking through this room helps visitors understand the texture of that era and what gaming culture actually looked like in homes.

The museum has many playable machines that visitors can try out hands-on while reading information about them. It works well for visits where you have time to explore and spend a while actually playing rather than just looking.

The collection includes rare unreleased prototypes and gaming devices that exist nowhere else on display. Some of these pieces are so scarce that they reveal how deeply the founders understand the forgotten corners of gaming history.
