Game On - the much-lauded exhibition charting the history of videogames and their effect on popular culture - is to return in updated form, this time around at The Science Museum in London.
The mark two version of Game On (which premiered at The Barbican in 2002) will run between 21 October 2006 and 25 February 2007, with tickets priced at £8.50 for adults and £6.50 for children/concessions (for booking details, click here (http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/exhibitions/gameon/)).
One new addition to the exhibition will be a visual timeline of videogaming history, created by Nottingham artist Jon Burgerman, who is renowned for his distinctive street-art style. The exhibition, as before, will feature the PDP-1 - the computer which ran the first game, Space War - and a 1971 Computer Space arcade machine.
The exhibition will be supported by a programme of debates and speakers sessions, plus investigations into the science behind videogames and how players interact with them.
