Leonard Smith Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Wow. And they even chose good games for the display pieces! Cool! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I'm equally stunned they found a vcr as well. Perhaps they could find an old TV, put the cartridge in the 7800, and let people play it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait.. this is Iceland. Both are impressive. Edited June 20, 2022 by Jinks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 I love it when video game consoles (and classic computers) appear in museum exhibits! Thank-you for this. Is there any larger context, or is this just random examples of 1980s technology? The Royal British Columbia Museum, for example, had glass cabinets showing popular culture through the decades. Amongst the music posters, etc. was a NES representing the 1980s. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Smith Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 For the 7800, they are well executed and fun to play. They could have had Hat Trick and Jinks in there, you know. Maybe I'm easily entertained, but whatever. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario Bros. is one of the most played games in my (fairly respectable) 7800 collection... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just a random example of technology. The exhibits next to it have different eras of tech in icelandic history 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
