Gamers all around the world should be happy for this news. It seems the The Strong Museum of Play in Rochester, New York has accepted 2,000 documents chronicling the design and creation of Atari games in the '70s and '80s.
Jeremy Saucier, assistant director of the museum's International Center for the History of Electronic Games, had many positive remarks about the historical value of Atari.
"Atari’s vibrant video game packaging often bridged the gap between the fantastic game worlds that players imagined themselves entering and the abstract and blocky graphics on their video screens."
Saucier went on to discuss the importance of Atari's place in pioneering video games.
“This artwork and documentation, which add to The Strong’s exceptional collection of other materials related to Atari, help us better understand how a gaming pioneer packaged and sold its products to a new video game playing public.“
It is nice to see video games being placed in a museum where people of future generations and their children will be able to see the underground roots of where video games origins truly began at.
