Powerhouse holds retro gaming weekend
Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum will this weekend hold a series of special exhibits and events around a retro video gaming theme, featuring such classics as Pac-Man, Donkey Kong and Galaga.
The festivities kick off from 6pm tonight (Friday), with a number of game developers discussing what it was like to develop, design and play games in the 1980′s, before the birth of many of the technologies that drive today’s immersive video game experience.
A DJ will play music inspired by games and the 1980′s while the museum’s bar will serve drinks to patrons.
On Saturday and Sunday the museum has a full schedule of events planned, many suitable for kids. For example, it has classic arcade games available to play (including Super Mario Bros), an 80′s games-inspired craft workshop for kids, and at lunchtime a panel discussion hosted by video publication Byteside, on “how far has gaming come?”.
