From 17th November till 15th February the State Library of Queensland will be hosting Game On. A history of video games which has thrilled over a million visitors worldwide.
With more than 100 playable games, including some rarely seen consoles, a host of films based on video games and workshops for game developers this is a must for any of you who use to raid your money box to drop 20c pieces in games such as Mario Brothers, Galaga, Asteroids, Frogger and Pac Man.
Films showing include Tron, eXistenZ and Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.
To commemorate this landmark event I have added Galaga to the bottom of the page.
Press the space bar to start the game and to fire bullets. A word of warning this is more difficult than the original.
At Cottenham Street Bear taught me a lesson in playing Pac Man, (the man is a freak) so I am looking forward to hearing how he goes.
Enjoy......
