Visualized: the Videogame History Museum's touring exhibit

Granted, this week is all about looking forward to the latest and greatest bits of video game technology, but it never hurts to turn your attention to history for a moment, to remember how far we've come. Not that one has to twist any arms to get gamers on-board with a bit of nostalgia -- not if all of the throwback 80s gaming t-shirts around the LA Convention Center are to be believed, at least. The Videogame History Museum staked out a space on the E3 show floor this week, to take people on a trip down home console memory lane.

The traveling collection is a mix of the familiar and some strange and wonderful little rarities. It's all part of an attempt to promote the museum, which is working to build a research and reference space -- one that will also be an interactive exhibit. More info on the effort can be found in the source link below. In the meantime, take a trip down memory lane in the gallery below.
