Game On

I have just got back from a nice little trip to Melbourne Australia, and while I was there I was lucky enough to stumble across an exhibition called “Game On”.  As I’ve been doing music for computer games here and there I thought I better pop in for a look.  The Exhibition is on the history of computer games, and they have over 100 playable exhibits.  Some are on old computers, some are original arcade games, some groovy old retro hand held games, and plenty of new shiny stuff too.  The neat thing is, the history of computer games is not yet long enough to be dull and boring (like, the history of literature… dare I say it?  I love books… but… yeah…).

You can find more details about Game On at http://www.acmi.net.au/game_on.aspx I really recommend checking it out if you have the chance.  I’m not a ‘gamer’ at all but I still got a lot out of it and found it really interesting and fun.  And yes, they have a computer music section and I spent waaay to long hogging the headphones and listening to all the game music
