Come face-to-face with icons from the video game world in the Pixel Landing, at the top of the staircase in The Strong’s new wing. View statues and artistic renderings of favorite gaming characters, such as Link (from the Zelda franchise), Sonic the Hedgehog, Lara Croft (from the Tomb Raider series), Crash Bandicoot, Master Chief (from the Halo series), and Chung Li (from Street Fighter).
Then, grab the joystick of the world’s largest, playable Donkey Kong arcade machine—standing nearly 20-feet tall and using an original motherboard—and dodge oversized barrels as you try to save the day. From the Pixel Landing, go on to explore ESL Digital Worlds (High Score and Level Up) and the Age of Empires exhibit in the Suzanne and Tony Goodman Gallery.
