Mad's First Million $:

Organize a museum outlining the history of electronic gaming with displays of all the games and all the gaming systems from the beginning to the present. Make it interactive where people could play the original games on the original systems. Have an attached gamers' hall where paying members could play tournaments in the historical games of their choosing - Pong tourneys, Tank tourneys, Defender tourneys, Asteroid, Space Invaders, Pac Man, etc., plus pay-to-play stations for all the current games.

The New Jersey Metropolitan Museum Of Pong
