I would donate money to a video game museum that housed a copy of every single game and console in existence.

The games and consoles are for looking at while there are playing stations with emulators to sample the games. The game art alone would make it worth it.

I always wanted to see a visual timeline of all game consoles lined up in a row to see evolution of design over the years. From disks to carts to cds.
