It depends on what your museum is trying to convey. If it's moments of gaming history and games and consoles of significance, I'd go with:

For the earliest video games, I'd show the Tennis for Two on the DuMont Lab Ocilloscope, released in 1958.

You should also include the life of Warren Robinett, because he was the first ever game programmer to receive in-game credit for a game he made, because Atari never gave their programmers credit, but he snuck one in as an easter egg. He then went on to found the Learning Company which made all those Reader Rabbit games.

For the Crash of 1983, you have to include ET for the Atari 2600 as the posterboy, but "Pitfall!" should also be included. Pitfall was a good game, but it was the breakout hit of Activision and therefore proof that third-party video games were viable, leading to the glut of video games which, in combination with ET being such a colossal failure, caused the crash.

For the resurgence after the crash, the Nintendo Entertainment System, but specifically the one that came with the little robot to help you play games. It's essential that you convey that Nintendo intended to sell it as a toy rather than a games console because the games market in the US had completely died in the crash, but the toy market was very much alive.

Ironic that a guy who facilitates large amounts of piracy is complaining about violating license agreements.

If only they could have that response when the TERFs come knocking. When normal people want something good they're like "lol no get fucked losers" but when JK Rowling comes along they're like "Of course mistress anything you want do you want a viewing box at the gas chambers?"

You say that, but... Iraq was a dictatorship, and they weren't all that efficient at anything other than killing Kurds.

Has there ever been a UBI study that lasted the person's entire life?

...That's worse, gimme a country where everyone wipes with toilet paper, rather than a country where roughly half the population are walking around with shit in their trousers.

That's because 90% of cryptocurrency marketing consists of "THINK OF THE GAAAAAAINS YOU CAN MAKE!" instead of "You can use this to buy things without government censorship".

The entire crypto industry has based itself around being a speculative asset, not a currency.

...The genocide didn't start in 2023, it's been an ongoing project for decades.

Israel is unpopular, but Israel is not the end-all be-all of British politics.

According to YouGov (admittedly from 2024 but the Gaza War had already kicked off by then), the top 3 issues people vote on are...

For Labour Voters:

• Cost of Living
• Health
• The Economy

When asked what the single most important thing is, the most said Cost of Living

For Conservative Voters:

• Immigration
• The Economy
• Cost of Living

When asked what the most important thing is, the most said Immigration

For Reform Voters:

• Immigration
• Cost of Living
• The Economy

When asked what the most important thing is, the most said Immigration.

For the Lib Dems:

• Health
• Cost of Living
• The Economy

When asked what the most important thing is, the most said Health.

There's nothing on the Green Party because they're so irrelevant nobody even counts them.

Of the entire population surveyed, the total percentage of people that considered Gaza to be their highest priority was 2%, and of those 2%, the most were in the 18-24 age bracket at 14%.

Admittedly I may be reading that data wrong, and it is from 2024, but this is more current, and on that list, Israel vs Palestine isn't even counted because it's so low in priority. While yes, Israel is unpopular, in the grand scheme of things and the issues facing the UK right now, nobody gives a shit about Gaza.

Yes, there needs to be a more leftist party in UK politics, but... for christ's sake don't make Gaza your primary messaging. There's a ton of shit going on in the UK right now and Reform are ahead in the polls. Guess what Reform are not talking about? It's Gaza, because it turns out the average twat from the run-down northern town with no job prospects and a dying welfare state doesn't actually give a shit enough to want his government's priorities to be on another nation state when HE'S getting fucked from all sides.

Start your messaging about un-fucking the UK first, and then mention Gaza when asked. It's about being seen as "We're here for YOU" and then when asked about Gaza going "Oh yes we care about that as well, but YOU are the priority", hence the name Your Party.
