Having worked at Nintendo Software Technology on the new snowboard game 1080, I am happy to hear that people are nostalgic. For me, Dragon Quest III was my fav.
I saw the little museum at the Nintendo Building in Redmond, WA too, but its nowhere near that big...

I still keep my famicon...never ... let ...go.

i mailed the writer of video fenky bout this with full details of place, guests etc a good month ago but he didnt run the story

possibly due to some glaring errors he made around that time i pointed out or more likely due to the volume of mail he gets..
