sydric Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 The Personal Computer Museum is proud to announce the arrival of the first video game console EVER coming to Brantford, Ontario, Canada on Saturday, September 21st, 2013. This is a functional, working replica that Ralph built with his own hands and we are allowing the PUBLIC to play it. This is the first time the BROWN BOX is playable in Canada. More information on the event and for tickets, head to http://www.pcmuseum.ca/brownbox.asp We hope that many video game fans in the area will come out and give it a try and get their picture taken!

+Gemintronic Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 "..replica that Ralph built with his own hands.." This part of the sentence is confusing my poor brain. Wouldn't a hand built unit made by the originator not be a clone, dupe, replica, etc.. Any history behind this unit? When did he make it and why?

sydric Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 The original is very fragile and located at the Smithsonian. Ralph decided to build a few replicas - some functional, some just for "show" to be used at museums and shown in places around the world as part of video game history. He built this one to be playable and we are excited to have it at the museum for people to enjoy for this special one day event! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
