It had working displays of nearly every gaming system since   the very beginning. We&#8217;re talking before Pong, even. The only notable   exception was Coleco-vision, which was from A.J.&#8217;s childhood years.<br \/>\nThey 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.<\/p>\n<p>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!<\/p>\n<p><!--Mime Type of File is image\/jpeg --><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/jillcook.com\/blog\/wp-photos\/20090123-165512-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/jillcook.com\/blog\/wp-photos\/thumb.20090123-165512-1.jpg\" alt=\"photo.jpg\" \/><\/a>  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watch out Jill!
