I was browsing around the web the other night and found some very interesting things. First, the new 2013 inductees into the National Toy Hall Of Fame are the game of Chess and the Rubber Ducky Toy:

But, wait, what has this got to do with video games you may ask. Well, while I was at the sight I looked at the list of items previously inducted into the Hall Of Fame and was pleasantly surprised to find that the Atari 2600 Game System and Nintendo Game Boy were added in previous years:

Browsing around further, I came upon a site called the International Center For The History Of Electronic Games and was blown away by all I found there. Take a look:

There are many, many more links to explore if you visit these sites and it might take a while to see everything.
Caged Wolf, it may interest you also as I saw several things on Mother from the Earthbound game, etc.
These are wonderful sites and so happy that the video game world is being preserved like this.
