Alright it’s game time and no I’m not talking about Shitbloke’s table tennis challenge.
The Game On exhibition has now begun at the ACMI @ Melbourne’s Federation square. While most gaming events are usually held in Sydney, we have been particularly lucky lately to have had a couple (Egames & now Game On) hosted right here on our doorsteps.
As I’m particularly lazy today, I’ve decided to just paste some details right from the ACMI website.

Get ready for Melbourne’s must-see exhibition of 2008 – the action-packed pant wetting celebration of games culture that has thrilled over one million players geeks of all ages around the world. 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.
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 collectibles are brought together in a showcase of game history like no other.
Personally I can’t wait to try my hand at some classic nostalgic games and look forward to getting my hands on the craptacular failure that was the Nintendo game glove. I’ve just gotta remember to bring some nose plug as I’m sure this event will have the unwashed masses crawling out of their lairs (just like the swap meets).
