Game On

Play your way through the history of videogames

ACMI - Australian Centre for the Moving Image

Thursday 06 March 2008 to Sunday 13 July 2008

Game On tracks the development of videogames from the first computer game to arcade-era hits and the very latest from today’s billion dollar industry. Exhibition organised and toured by Barbican Art Gallery which is owned and funded by the City of London Corporation.

Original illustrations by Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto and concept sketches behind classics like Tomb Raider and Grand Theft Auto provide unique insight into the creative process of game development. Rarely-seen consoles, controllers, arcade machines, packaging and collectables are brought together in a showcase of game history like no other.
