ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

International Center for the History of Electronic Games

Imagine there is a special place where people keep a lot of old, antique toys that were played with by people long before you were born. This place is called a museum, and it helps people remember things from the past that might be important or interesting.

Now, imagine that instead of antique toys, this museum is dedicated to old video games. These are games that children your parent's age or older used to play when they were young. Some of them might even look funny compared to the games you play on your tablet or computer now.

This special museum is called the International Center for the History of Electronic Games. It's a place specifically made to collect and preserve old video games for people to explore and learn from. People can go there to see how video games have evolved over time, and learn about their history.

Just like how your parents might tell you stories about what it was like when they were young, this museum tells stories about the history of video games. It's like taking a time machine to explore and learn about the past!
