Dear Mr. Frater:
In March 10, I learn that my life long fascination with antique science instruments was recognised by you as a good thing and you included my museum in the “Top ten museums for geeks”. For a while I thought it is a joke; then I checked the other entries, the other lists, and everything was somehow above my league. It was a shocking realization that what we are doing is not in vane, that we may have some talents and that maybe I will live behind something of significance.
This coming Saturday we will participate in “Obscura Day”. Your recognition of our efforts emboldens us tremendously. I am truly grateful to you.

Thank you for listing our center as #4 in the “Top 10 Museums For Geeks”! : )

I did want to make certain readers here are aware of a change of the name of the center to the “International Center for the History of Electronic Games (ICHEG)”. We recently renamed the center to ICHEG from NCHEG to reflect a wider array of collections and interpretive content from around the world.

It may also be worth mentioning that although we have many of these items working in our ICHEG lab, they are not generally available to the public right now for hands-on play, but we will have a variety of consoles, emulators, and classic arcade games available to play when we launch a major exhibit in October of this year on the history of electronic games.

If anyone has any other questions or curiosities about ICHEG, or the Strong National Museum of Play where we’re housed, feel free to contact me!

We recently visited the Niagara Science Museaum and were very impressed with it. It is a must for those interested in scientific equipment. If you are in the Niagara area be sure to check it out.

Number 4 is awesome. They had a exhibit full of old video games at one time. It was so much fun!

I am a little too excited by this list. Especially the pinball museum and the pirate museum! Now I have to add those on to my list to visit before I die! Thank you for this amazing list!
