Game On (the history, technology and culture of video games) October 21, 2006

Explore the history, technology and culture of video games

From the PDP-1 of the 1960s to the latest must-have consoles Game On will examine the technologies that have revolutionised the gaming world. The exhibition will feature the ten most influential consoles of all time plus more than 100 playable games so you'll be transported back in time to play some of the defining games of the last forty years and reminisce over the classic games of your childhood. Meanwhile younger gamers will be introduced to the history of current gaming software and hardware and get their hands on the now retro games that their parents played in their youth.
