How does it feel knowing that some of the games you play, now belong in a museum as outdated technology?

Also the cart is Top Gun.

I nearly died laughing.

I have no idea, I was puzzled over that myself.

One of the museums in London, also has a SNES.

what? just kidding the condition of this box was pretty bad when i got it, who the fuck wraps something in packing tape like that?

the odyssey 1 inside is a tad yellow and has a chip on the top but it fully works though.

>yuropoor museum of shittyness

no thanks

>> No.580914

I fucking hate living in the UK.

Everything retro is overpriced as fuck (and inferior 50hz) and if you want to import there's the big shipping charge and possible government import duty. They need to skim some off the top because it's not like I'm paying for it with my already taxed wages or anything.. Oh wait!

Not really related to the thread but I needed to get it off my chest.

OP here, yeah i feel your pain.

Take it from a guy who works at a museum... that is one seriously shitty display. Our museum exhibition students do a better job than throwing white on grey with text block labels.

I would fail that, if it were done by my students.

That looks like one of those bullshit "museums" you see someone open inside a garage... That doesn't look visually appealing AT ALL, and the shit on the wall doesn't look professional in the slightest... oh and it's not informative

If you are so interested:
http://www.nms.ac.uk/our_museums/national_museum.aspx

It did have a cool exhibit on Dr Livingstone though.

It was a museum mainly full of old technology. I think most people looking at the consoles knew what they fucking were.

Like when I saw pic related. I knew what it was. Like seriously, you guys can complain about anything.

>> No.581032

It also doesn't match the rest of the National Museum of Edinburgh, from what I've just seen.

It's mid-tier, as far as the category "Socialist National Museums" goes.

>> No.581057

>>581039
Anon-museum guy here,

That's a much more professional display. I think whoever curated the vidya exhibit either didn't know or didn't care about what they were doing. Still, something like that can drag down the quality of the whole joint.

Aren't museums usually staffed by liberal arts folks who can write halfway decently because of their degree programs?

>> No.582938

Apparently not. My degree is electronic engineering, and it sickens me when people praise my grasp of English. I'm not supposed to be literate and verbose, since my degree is made of MATH AND SOLDER, not feelings and calligraphy.

>> No.582968 [DELETED]

Fellow Electronic bro here. It seems like good grammar and speaking skills are becoming less common quite quickly. Maybe people expect us to be literate because we're supposed to "have minds of numbers and logic"?
