Watch out Jill! PAC-Man is about to get you!

We went to the “Game On” exhibit at the Queensland Library last weekend. It had working displays of nearly every gaming system since the very beginning. We’re talking before Pong, even. The only notable exception was Coleco-vision, which was from A.J.’s childhood years.
They had all sorts of older games (we played a few levels of Bubble Bobble!) and lots of newer systems. There was an arrangement of 4 HD screens and 4 systems set-up for the multi-player Halo game, and the graphics were amazing! They also had Dance Dance Revolution and a Wii, which was set up with bowling.

It was a pretty amazing variety of games, all of which were working! There were also hand drawn animations of characters, architecture of simulated buildings, promotional materials, and some thoughtful discussions on game displays. We really enjoyed it!
