Title: Game On Exhibition in Budapest
Post by: Belike 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.

Post by: level42 on October 21, 2012, 09:45:48 PM: 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 ?

Post by: Blanka on October 21, 2012, 10:41:42 PM: Funny it is in catacombs again, just as in Brussels 3 years ago.

Post by: Blanka on October 23, 2012, 06:01:13 AM: 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...
Title: Re: Game On Exhibition in Budapest
Post by: Luigi on October 26, 2012, 03:08:29 PM: awwww...what an awesome exhibition!!

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

No such problem in London.

Post by: Belike on October 26, 2012, 09:52:57 PM: We've been there today with my crazy collector friend and had a great time. :D
Unfortunately the situation was the same with Cebulba's, taking pics with flash was not allowed (there were security guards everywhere) and in that dark basement non-flash pics are totally suck. :-\
BUT i could take some sneaky pics from these gems. ;D

We also had the unique chance to have a nice chat with Barry Hitchings, one of the oraganizers of this exhibition, he is a really nice guy a huge fan of arcade videogames. :D
He asked us, if I we can help him to get a B/W TV chassis for the Space Invaders, I already sent him a mail about the possibilities. :D

No Problem, we are Dragon's Lair Fans, aren't we? ;D ;D ;D
That pic with the castle was also there, but I didn't see the others, seems like they change the stuff from time to time.

Post by: level42 on October 26, 2012, 10:17:11 PM: I missed it in Tilburg YEARS ago....I wasn't even into "the" hobby yet...but I really wanted to go, then forgot about it....
I missed it in Brussels too....

The thing is....I am now so spoilt that I either play these games pretty regularly or I even own them ;)

Still would like to go...I love how they set-up the consoles and computers, behing glass, but still playable and on a CRT TV...that's how it's done ! :)

the time I have been there at the Science Museum London, most of the games were emulated and even the controllers were not the original ones.

My pictures from 2007 can be found on our german kultpower board at http://www.kultpower.de/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2710&p=24204&hilit=game+on+london#p24204 (http://www.kultpower.de/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2710&p=24204&hilit=game+on+london#p24204)
I loved that Star Wars cockpit ;-)

Most of the old stuff was long gone or out of order (e.g. the TRON being pictured) and they hat 20+ PS2 stations....with more focus on the releases of the new ps3 and Xbox 360 then.
Seems at least Lara survived the world trip.

Few days ago opened a game museum in Italy, Rome - vigamus - anybody has been there, yet?

Post by: Belike on October 27, 2012, 04:01:14 PM: Yeah, really nice guy and he can talk without a break for hours. ;D
I also saw him playing Track & Field, he is a real pro, even in that totally unplayable original cabinet with those hollow buttons. ;D
