This is more of a gallery than a museum. Where are the texts that explain the historical significance of each level chosen to be presented to visitors in the greater body of all video game levels, and the information who made them, as part of which tenure, inspired by what, etc?
It's pretty similar to an arts museum. I don't go to the Louvre to read the signs, but to look at the artwork. As they are ordered by console, there is some context regarding the period and cultural context. I think it is an fantastic idea to frame this as a museum. This website provides so much cultural value for free, it's a powerful demonstration of how the internet can be x-times more efficient than the offline world for cultural education/communication or whatever the purpose of art museums is.
Cool: I do. I, and thousands of classrooms of school kids, go to musea to learn about the things we're looking at, because musea are places where I, and everyone else, learn about things we don't learn about at home. They're not "just look at things detached from literally everything", they teach us things.
Musea contain the history of our planet in all its diverse subjects. Anthropology, art, video game levels (hi, Berlin's "Video game museum": you are 100% worth going to, to learn about the history and significance of video games both on their own and as societal force!), whatever you decided to dedicate a museum to: if there is no opportunity to learn, you're not a museum. You're just a gallery.
I'm perfectly fine with calling collections of digital records, curated as part of a coherent collection, made available online, and explaining the significance of the works on display, musea. There are plenty out there.
