Also in Dallas is the 8-track tape museum.

The weirdest game seems the one using a sewing machine! http://kotaku.com/5800606/this-might-be-the-weirdest-game-bo...
A real playable game, or just a GameBoy being repurposed as a sewing machine controller? Either way, that's rather clever.
Fun.
I rememeber the EA game boxes, (small records, good art, the programers names on the box). The intellivision computer, that was kinda useless, except you could play "mind strike".
They seem have a good collections of the old hand held games too.
Great they have some that are playable.

There's another great collection of video games & memorabilia at the Strong Museum of Play in Rochester, NY.
Thanks for posting this. This is about a half hour drive from my house, and I forgot the museum was open now!
Definitely going to go visit soon. :-)

(Sales pitch: Texas is far more diverse than it is often portrayed: Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio are all in the top-ten largest cities in the United States.. Houston is the most diverse city in the nation[1] and #4 in size, projected to be #3 before the next census (behind NYC, LA, and Chicago), and all of them are artsy, cosmopolitan cities. There's enough to do in each of these cities to spend a few days checking out just the stuff that interests you, whether it be various art museums, symphony, opera, ballet, science, technology, space exploration, history, etc.)
