Game On Exhibition in Budapest
« on: October 21, 2012, 09:28:36 PM »
Finally after 10 years, Game On arrived to Budapest and available until January. :spaceace:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_On_(exhibition)
This exhibition is an overview of video gaming history from the 1960's until now in an interactive way, you can play almost all games, even full size Arcade Videogames from the 80's. ;)
I haven't been there yet, but a friend of mine (snakeimp) sent me some pics.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, what a good extra reason for a visit to Budapest :) Would it be nice between Xmas and new year in Budapest ? :)

And what the heck is that Sergeant Solo ? I mean I see it was a Battlezone but what is it now ?

I like the idea of the 'stand', to present games like that  :arrow:



...but it requires too much space!  :-\ But it's cool!  8)

It seems you have the 2.0 version. But I can't tell the difference nor it does look bigger. Maybe cause the Belgiums added their own extension to it with their own modern developments like The Path.

great. waiting for 100+ pictures :)

I have been to London 2010 - but due to its age, most items were broken or missing at all. Seems they refurbished some things.
In addition my Digicam was out of order after a few minutes - and even today the security didn't allowed me to take pictures of all items...

awwww...what an awesome exhibition!!

It lacks some more decoration IMHO. Some color lights would do the job, especially in this ambient :)

In Brussels there was no problem with that.

No such problem in London.
