Retro Gaming Australia

The fine folks behind the site Digital Press were running a Kickstarter campaign over the last couple of weeks in order to generate funds for their new idea, the Videogame History Museum. Kickstarter is a crowdfunding site, where users can pledge money to assist creators in getting their projects off the ground. Pledgers who agree to give a certain level of funding will get often get gifts in return.

The Videogame History Museum sought $30,000 to establish a premises where Joe Santulli and his cronies could stash their collection when they’re not taking it on the road to the variety of retro gaming conventions that happen in the US. You can read more about their plans at the museum’s official site.

Well, their Kickstarter campaign has been successful, so the plans for a Silicon Valley-based video game museum can now proceeed to the next level. In fact, the pledge drive raised over $50,000, 2/3rds more than the team was expecting!

We look forward to seeing the team’s plans come to fruition.
