And the original Asteroids was merely an updated version of Nolan Bushnell's Computer Space, which was really a jazzed-up copy of Steve Russell's Spacewar. Space Invaders, Centipede, Frogger, and Pong are once again on store shelves, and Pong is but a polished variant of the game Willie Higinbotham displayed on his oscilloscope.

On December 12, 1999 the first game scans were added to the site and they became so popular that by January 14, 2000 the sub-site Gamescans was online, followed quickly by merging off these two sites into the Video Game Museum, launching officially on January 26, 2000. In the following months and years after the merge, more sections such as Game Endings, Sprite Rips, Game Ads and Game Reviews were added, various redesigns were applied to the site, several staff members joined and left building the VGMuseum as it is today. The site is updated and maintained by staff members Rey and Oli with Mek serving as the webmaster.
