National Video Game Museum 

Atari was a big deal for a kid in the 80's until the original Nintendo. I did squeeze a Commodore 64 in between those though. Anyone else ever have one of those?

6:45... "This game is too complex for me." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

the ET hole fall loop just brought back PTSD for me lol

I seriously want that Dracula statue. Have no room for it, but he'd really tie the living space together.

I had an Atari system that was preloaded with 2 versions of breakout, and 3 versions of Pinball. Single player. Once you completed both levels of each game, it wasn't that much fun anymore. I'm old enough to remember when Pong was the sensation at restaurants. A lot of fights broke out over kids that hogged the machine.

I forgot about Tempest. I enjoyed that game so much as a kid. We had an original Atari and then my brothers and I got a Coleco Vision for Christmas.... Memories....

I never was nor will ever be a gamer, but this was a pleasure to see. I remember most of the incarnations and used to sell Mattel's Intellevision game Claimimg has "advanced" graphics over Atari, at the electronics store where I worked. I was laid to total waste when my 6 year old nephew challanged me to a game on his Nintendo. I told him I gave him mercy and let him beat me! The boy was genius!

Carpetbagger Twitch Channel confirmed

Was Ralph Baer's brown box mentioned? That was the first video game console that became The Magnavox Odyssey. Ralph Baer is the inventor of Video Games.

"Hey there's an Atari my grandma had one" You must've have a cool Grandma :)

You got run over 15 times while playing the atari but didn't die once

Fun fact: The first video game was not pong but was a tic tac toe game called OXO which was not sold anywhere but was to test the system of the ESDAC back in 1952

Such a cool place 👍 my two sons , would love this place ♥️ I really enjoyed this video ..

Adventure was featured in Ready Player One. In the OASIS, the challenge was to figure out what was James Halliday's favorite Atari game, with the goal being not to beat Adventure, but to find its original Easter Egg.

Just went there for my first time today. Had to pull up the video from you to show my dad since he wasn't able to go. I remember seeing this video last year not realizing I lived close by to it since moving to the Frisco area a few months ago lol.

Hi Jacob awesome vlog on the classic video and arcade games. Sure miss the old arcades at mall. I used to enjoy playing Pac-Man and miss Pac-Man back in the early 1980s. Time has flown so fast. Have a great year👍🏻😺

My brother and I had that triangular Telstar Arcade console. Later we had the Atari 2600, Intellevision, and the Commodore 64. I also saw a bunch of handheld games in that place that one of us had. Great vlog!

Fun fact. Those Tempest arcade machines used to be horribly unreliable because they were the first color vector video game at the time, and the problem was that during the part of the game when you would fly down the tunnel, the scan lines would go out past the borders of the monitor and it would stress the monitor and the thing would eventually die. To my knowledge, they wrote in a fix to the program that prevented the scan lines from doing this and did a lot or chip replacements on machines to fix this issue.

This is on of the greatest vids you have ever done man. This is why you are King Carpet!

Yes! Thanks Cre80s for showing the Mighty Vectrex! The best console ever!

I now want to visit this place, I didn't even know that this was a thing!

I also had "Suspended" and pretty much every other game that Infocom made back in the day when I had my Commodore 64. Infocom made the absolute best text adventure games. To this day, no company has ever matched them. Suspended was pretty unique in the genera as instead of a character on an adventure, you played an AI in charge of an automated city that had befallen some kind of catastrophe and you had control of a bunch or robots that you had to order around to repair it to awaken the humans who were in cryo-sleep, or something like that. So many memories.

Definitely one of the coolest places you've visited!

One of my all time favorite games is Elevator Action!❤️

I have to go here at some point. and my first system was a 2600 in 1980 so the my grandma had a 2600 made me feel really old

So nice I watched it twice.

That yellow "Pong" stand up arcade machine. Back in the 70's, the duckpin bowling alley in my town where we used to bowl had one of those and me and my friends used to have these epic "Pong" tournaments against each other. Such nostalgia. Seeing that machine really brought me back to my childhood.

The fighting games where the best ,especially when you had a friend with you.Great job Jacob thanks for sharing

That was awesome. I remember Adventure, but my favorite was Galaga.

I didn’t happen to notice (unless I missed something) any old Bulletin Board System games from the early 1990’s, pre internet. I think Pimp Wars, Drug Lord and Legend of the Red Dragon should definitely be in there!

Anyone else fast forward just to see him play E.T? Just me? I couldn't wait.

Awesome video! Definitely will be stopping there if I ever goto Texas.

Brought back so memories

My stepsons would love that place! When they were kids they went through a lot of these systems, and still do

I myself am working on someday having my own video game studio

You have the most amazing mutton chops I’ve ever seen!

Did he glue his chops back on🤨

At 6:25 you can see a boy in a orange shirt in the left hand corner. That was me

Famous last words "Oh no I died". Very interesting museum. Looks like a lot of fun. Wish they had one for pinball machines . Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤

During a contest in the 8th (9th?) grade I won an Atari 2600. I nurtured my game collection including one for the paddles called Bugs (iirc). When I had moved out during the mid 90's, my little brother sold the entire collection and the Atari for 20.00 I was so pissed when Mom and he finally admitted it a few years later! I bought a new unit for Erik for Christmas this year, and it sits, unopened. It can't compare with Minecraft. Mom might just open it here and play w/o him!

Adventure by Atari was basically the first game to have an Easter Egg in a game. The creators of the games weren't given any recognition for their games. Warren Robinette changed all that with Atari's Adventure.

I didn't realize there was a video game museum. I want to check it out.

The first game console I ever had was a ZX Spectrum+2. All I recall was the load button was the J button and the noise when it was loading. That noise...arggh!

Freeway - Why did the chicken cross the road? Actually, the Atari joystick works best when it's tight.

A video game museum in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex? Cool

"He's the angriest gamer you've ever heard; he's the angry Carpetbagger nerd..."

Oh my gosh! I absolutely love video games! They're my favorite. The very first console I had was the GameCube. My favorite games for it were Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life, Super Mario Sunshine, and the original Animal Crossing. I also had Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the Polar Express video games. My sister wanted the Harvest Moon video game so I couldn't play it. I don't know why though. I think it had something to do with the save slots in the game. Anyway, she should have let me play it anyway because I watched her play it and it was awesome. I did get to play Animal Crossing though. It's funny how your favorite video games evolve over time. Animal Crossing has evolved into a franchise that has stuffed animals, different console designs, action figures, even playsets. If I lived in Japan I would have loved the playsets. It was based on the Japanese version of the game as it first premiered in Japan on the Nintendo 64. Anyway, love this video game museum! I'm putting this on my bucket list as one of the places I want to go. Thanks for sharing, and have a great day!

If I remember right Soylent Green was the first movie with a video game in it. It looked like that yellow strange shaped cabinet but was white.

Awesome!! Brought back a lot of great video game memories!!!!

Hey jacup did you just get your mutton chops shaved off

This is so interesting

Who owns the Atari ET game?! Pure hell! 😂

Legend says that the duck is still trying to cross the street.

Oh yeah I love Video Games!

This is a fun video and brings back a lot of memories😀 great work👍

I’ve been working on getting something close to this in my room.

How old is your Grandma? I'm 59 and was 22 when I won an Atari 2600 from a Captain Crunch contest, We were newlyweds and everyone would come over to our little place to play, No one we knew could afford to own one then. We would save up for months to buy a new game, you would prepay and put your name on a list and then awaited the phone call.

COOOL COOOOL! ty Jake!

I showed my kids the Atari system and they had a hard time understanding how anyone can play a game with just a stick and a button.

So the night have here the tablet glows across the museums in every country’s all exhibits came alive by magic

Pretty disappointed you never mentioned the Magnavox Odyssey. You didn't even recognize the controller... SMH.

The old drive and shoot. Lol

Thank God you can reset !

Love Simon!

It's pretty interesting seeing the 32X version of Doom at a place like this, I always figured they would have gone for the original MS DOS version, personally.

ET wasn’t actually a flop. It sold very well.

Lol the ET game was weird. The one we had, had an odd thing happen. When ET used a flower to heal it spun then took off. We contacted them and they wanted us to send the the cartridge. We nrver did though. Wish we did now.

Dog walking across street lol. It’s a chicken crossing the road (freeway)

I done went there before

Great one Carpetbagger, got a strong sense of Nasrallah while watching this video.

Cool video. Wish you could have shown more of the gift shop though.

I Love This Museum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This video is so cool because I do have a xbox

Did you get to meet the owner? He gives free tours when he's in!! Really sweet guy, love this museum so much!!!

Great vlog. Wondering if the entire vlog was recorded by GoPro? Which model? Everyone says that GoPro sound is not good but I thought ur vlog sounded fine. Also, I've tried the ET game myself as well. Wondering what is the goal of the game and how is one to accomplish it?

Love love love your show!😃👍🏻

anybody else scream "WHAT IS A MAN?" When We see Dracula at 14:29? XD

Your in Dallas!!!!!

I used to lived in Frisco

You should go to Washington-On-the-Brazon a really cool state park with a huge museum on the Republic of Texas

Hey Carpetbagger! Love the videos, you should come check out some of the great museums we have up in NW Ohio. The Museum of the Great Lakes, Imagination Station, and the Wood County Historical Museum. Plus there's a museum dedicated to farm equipment, and classic cars called Snooks.

Dang it Bagger, when are you going to let us know when you’re going to be around? Would love to say hi, meet-n-greet.

I have two of the rarest Nintendo items.... an Nes and super Nes testing stations valued at $8000 yay

Awesome video game museum video man

I still have an original Nintendo with Rob the Robot

The Sega Megadrive will always be my favourite

I still play my Wii.. I love Atari Pac-Man

Yep, now you're talking my language... I see Puppy Pong is signed by the creator, Al Alcorn (and I think Nolan Bushnell founder of Atari.) Legendary Wings seems to appear a lot for me lately... (It's a mutual friend's favorite game.) E.T. actually wasn't the biggest flop of all time. It sold 3 million cartridges. ;-) Yes, the Mindlink was just one of dozens and dozens of inventions Atari came up with back in the late 70's / early 80's. Fun Fact: Simon was designed by Ralph Baer, the man who is credited as creating the video game (the Magnovox Odyessy 1.) He copied Atari's game called Touch Me (which was only fair since Atari copied his Pong game.)

love it, keep up the good work

Here i am 20 years old and remember my atari when i was a kid 😂😂 had the woody edition

That's a chicken trying to cross the road, not a dog Jacob.

Now this is what im talking about

Awesome!

Wowni remember eating the zelda breakfast cereal.took me back

Geez, think you set a record for the most advertising.

what a cool place would love to visit

If you come to Houston let the people know I'm a big fan would be cool to tell you some cool spots in the area to check out (Galveston county; south of Houston)

Carpetbagger there is a museum in Waco Texas it is called the Dr Pepper museum.

Did they invent the Frisco sanwhich there?

I worked at a video game arcade in the early 80's.
