At a media day April 1, city leaders played against one another and reminisced on the games they use to play when they were younger. "I'm part of the old days myself. Many people may not know but I'm from the programming and CPM world and the original computers," said Frisco Mayor Maher Maso, who named off some of his favorite games such as Donkey Kong and Dungeons and Dragons. "The gaming world has been around for a long time, and it's really important, and while it was fun for us as kids back then, [the technology and processing] is what has brought us to where we are today and that's what the kids of today need to understand how we got here." The National Videogame Museum is founded by John Hardie, Sean Kelly and Joe Santulli. The museum is the only one in the United States dedicated to the history of the video game industry. The museum features video game memorabilia collected over three decades. The museum spans 10,000 square feet that includes a gift shop and features more than 20 displays including a timeline of gaming consoles and gaming stations with more than 12,000 games. "One of the questions we get asked the most throughout this process is why Frisco," Kelly said. "We talked to couple of other cities about where we're going to be and Silicon Valley seemed to the ideal place but when we came down and talk to the people of Frisco what really struck us immediately was that everybody here just got us." The museum will open at 10 a.m. April 2. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for children age 10 and younger. For more information go to www.nvmusa.org.
