Game News - The Return Of 'Game On' Exhibition

Game News - The Return Of

   Game On represents a true "gold mine" for those who often fall into nostalgia. I'd like to think that most of us could be found "guilty" of that. The "resurrection" promises a truly comprehensive history of games and game culture, including videogame influenced art (works by Jon Burgerman and Shigeru Miyamoto), debates and investigations into the science behind games, "antique" gear and playable titles, all sorted out and placed into a nice collection, which can't be refused: PDP-1, the computer that ran the world's first game, Space War; the first manufactured arcade game, called Computer Space (1971), titles such as Space Invaders, Asteroids and Pac-Man, etc. The exhibition will find "shelter" in a whole section of London's Science Museum, between October and February, being available for visits from 10am to 6pm.

   Gaetan Lee, developer of the Science Museum programmes, declared:

   "Nowhere else will people be able to see the entire history of the games industry laid out, explained and ready to play."

   In case you are planning to buy some tickets (the price revolves around 8.50 GBP for adults and 6.50 GBP for children), you should head right now to the website and test your luck.
