The closest to me is Flint, MI and I do not see myself traveling there any time soon... or at all.

yeah, it would be cool if there were more cities.  I'm amazed it came to Phoenix!

I wouldn't mind flying down to Phoenix to see the exhibit, my parents are down there.  What really amazes me is that they even chose Flint.  Especially since Flint is one of the most, if not the most, dangerous city in the States.

ha, yeah, that's a little weird alright.  I'm not sure why they chose the cities they did.

I wish it wasn't in far north NY cities because those are hours from me T_T 

I bet it would be really cool though to see it!

Syracuse! I can do Syracuse. It's probably an hour and a half ride to get there, but it seems like it'll probably be worth it.

Syracuse does seem like a weird place to take it to though...

yeah all these towns are pretty weird!

I visited this in DC last year I believe and I really enjoyed it. It's kinda neat to see the evolution of game, especially with how it's displayed along the wall. I didn't get the chance to play any of the games displayed as we were in a sort of a rush but it was still a fun experience.

Matt Snee Staff Writer

yeah I didn't play any of the games either, as they were busy.  I've mostly played them anyway. 

Like you said, it was a pretty fun experience though.

Theres no Texas dates so looks like i wont be attending.

that's too bad.  I don't know how they selected the cities, but a lot of people who would love it just won't be able to go.

I went when it opened in D.C. Really neat and very well done. Go see it, folks, if you can!

yeah the schedule is a little lackluster.

Miami is only 4 or so hours from me but but Oct. through Jan. is really bad timing, work will have me swamped. Oh well maybe next time.

Matt Snee Staff Writer

08/17/2013 at 06:15 PM

yeah it's too bad there aren't more cities on the tour.

Aw, phooey, nothing in Texas.
